Thanks Mike Somehow my testing managed to wreck the command, because when I reloaded LC 8.1.4 rc2, it worked, when neither my original call nor the Google one worked at all before. This is a bug in the IDE perhaps, since a bit of script testing should not affect what the Message Box can do. If I can track it down, I’ll report it.
Anyway I have learned quite a lot in a short time! Thanks again Graham PS Perhaps the earlier testing when I failed to authenticate might have upset things. I had restarted LC lots of times during these tests, but I had always let the script run on to that point before trying stuff in the Message Box. > On 27 May 2017, at 17:32, Mike Bonner via use-livecode > <use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > > If you have full reference to the file, and it works in your browser, you > should be able to > put "http://your.domain.com/text.txt <http://your.domain.com/text.txt>" > and have it appear in the msg box > If you use "get" it'll put the page into "it'.

I tested here and: put url " > http://www.google.com <http://www.google.com/>" in the message box works fine. _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
