Hi Richmond,
I agree, removing the ordinals would be a solution, but that would also
cause backwards incompatibility and actually I like these remnants from
the HyperCard times. Why not just keep them? They just need to be
documented properly (although this never was a problem for several decades).
When I wrote my previous e-mail, I was thinking of writing that you
could just ignore the ordinals and not teach them, but any smart kid
reading about them in the documentary would still notice the problem and
in a way it would be immoral to hide such information :-)

My feature request would be to REMOVE the ordinals! Then one could ONLY do:
delete char 3 and so on
and things would be consistent.
Certainly my "grumble" (and it is only a grumble, it is NOT a roaring
complaint) is about
inconsistencies, which makes teaching Livecode a bit more difficult than
perhaps may be
necessary.
