Hi list,
example 1 :
Robert,
1. Clicking the go away box in the window of a stack should close it
(and any substacks). In other words, clicking the close box should
close the stack. Clicking the box in a substack should hide it.
2. You can do whatever you want with modals - probably Show and Hide,
as needed.

Even just this simple line produces the same error:
answer trunc((36-34.2)*100)
This is odd...
Look at the results I get when testing this:
Trunc((36-34.1)*100) should = 190, but returns 189
Trunc((36-34.2)*100) should = 180, but returns 179
Trunc((36-34.3)*100) should = 170, and in fact does
Further confirmation of what JB noticed:
This:
round(((36-34.2)*100)-.5)
also returns 179, when it should return 180.
So the problem is not in the trunc function itself, it is in the way Rev
performs a calculation like 36-34.2 -- How many accounting errors
might this have caused for people?
According to my tests (which aren't exhaustive)
there seems to be another workaround :
put 36 into A
put 34.2 into B
put A-B into C
put C*100 into C
put trunc(C)
this gives 180 as a result, while the following line
(replacing the last 2 of the above example) gives 179

If you add in a line like this:
Put char 1 to -1 of C into C
then it forces Rev to use the proper number, rather than the
almost-but-not-quite proper number - but man, that has gotta slow things
down. Basically, that is forcing it to convert it from a number to text,
then back to a number. For
The method you are suggesting would also be faster, because it does not

Users of trunc() (whichever language they use it in :-) should be wary

create a field, set the htmlText of the field to your html, then get the
