Hey,
I am trying to get my feet wet with writing externals for Revolution, and
I must admit I am a little stuck. I read the newsletter articles on writing
externals, and found them extremely helpful. However, I only have a very
basic understanding of C++ and I need some help. There is a

The point of my message is that when I discovered that
my stack had been set to build Mac OS and Windows
standalones those were not settings I had set for that
specific stack, but settings for a thing I was using
for beta-testing. In fact, as I intended to buiold for
Linux on the Linux boxes
Rev (on OS X and presumably on Windows) has defaulted to 'build for
OS X Win' in the standalone settings since the start of the 2.7
cycle. No transferral of settings between stacks going on, just the
default settings for new stacks.
I can understand those defaults being annoying,

Hi Richmond,
When you set standalone settings, Rev implements or modify
accordingly a 'cRevStandaloneSettings' custom property set in the
concerned stack.
In this set you'll find more than 70 custom properties.
As Ian pointed it out, this allows the settings dialog to be

I have this in a top script, that picks up an file name on a loop:
global gCurrentFolder
on mouseUp
put fld fileList into tImages
repeat for each line tImage in tImages
put (gCurrentFolder tImage ) into tNextImage
DON'T use the parentheses with a command; it indicates a function to
the compiler.
I think values within parentheses used to work with commands, but not
recently. I've been caught by this myself.

If Rev could only be done in this manner, I'd run from it as fast as
I could. Why do you think I liked HC? I spent years trying out all
the other languages, from Fortran thru Assembler to VisualBasic and
FutureBasic. The latter two were acceptably useful, but still not as
good as
Chiming in late in the game, but...
regrettably...
my audience is among them.
Not that that means Rev should maintain Classic just for laggers like my
department :-/
