So as a newbie, would I be right in thinking that you can call any function from the library stack in any other stack, or must the library stack be the mainstack. Also you say put 'in use' at startup do you have to do this via a specific command? Cheers Si. Simon Harper 2.44 Kilburn

Yet another Newbie Question

2007-04-03 Thread Simon HARPER
on the array - if you like - a kind of abstraction? which leads me to the question - is there the concept of a record structure as in c/c++ or is it best to use a 2 dimensional array? Sorry once again if this is all obvious. Cheers Si. Simon Harper 2.44 Kilburn Building University

Sorry to keep hassling the list! OK so I'm creating a series of notes - now I understand that normally I'd just make a new card for each. However how do I handle it if each notes is 2 cards (ie I use 2 tabs)? Cheers Si. Simon Harper 2.44 Kilburn Building University of Manchester (UK

Variable transfers Between Stacks and Sub-Stacks.

2007-03-29 Thread Simon HARPER
in the mainstack - refereshing if people change the preferences (in the sub- stack) while the application is running? I'm sure this must be done a lot but I wonder if there is an accepted best way. Also, would I just define a global variable for inter-stack variables? Cheers Si. Simon Harper 2.44
