No matter how many compatible computers you run that code on, the answer will always be the same. No ambiguity. For humans though, we can read it differently, and will, and some will mistakenly think it does xyz not abc. Therefore, computer languages can be 'English like' but not like natural English. Then again, I guess that might be the key to true AI, to introduce ambiguity into the mix, so when you turn on a computer it might let you check your emails or it might sulk because you haven't used it for a while. _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
