I understand that using text files to edit stacks sounds awfully similar to the methods of Third Generation Languages of "Editing, Compiling, Linking and Running" How could I use stacks in text format? 1) Search and Replace terms in all the handlers of all stacks. Notice that many developers have published stacks to export stacks as text, but this is a one way conversion. 2) Commenting code will be, as you pointed, easier. 3) New tools for analyzing, optimizing and refactoring LiveCode scripts and stacks would use these text files instead of their binary counterparts... This would be an extraordinary advance for this platform. There should exists more good reasons, but these are the salient points that come to my mind in this moment.
