>> Maybe we need a synonym for "the ... of me" - how about something like "my"? >> >> put my text into xx >> set my hilite to true
Actually, SenseTalk (the xTalk that drives the Eggplant testing suite) provides support for "my" as well as having extended xTalk to include possessives, so you can say: set button 1's hilite to true but it goes farther in defining custom "simple objects" on the fly that can have properties or other objects nested within them; this is where possessives make more sense: put (name: "Michael") into mike -- create the "mike" object put a new object into property cat of mike -- create a nested object set the name of mike's cat to "Fido" put mike's cat's name -- puts "Fido" As a side note, these "simple objects" are not "physical" objects like buttons and fields, but more like Director's or AppleScript's property lists; kind of like associative arrays, but can be addressed with property-like statements. It would be like doing this in a *fictitious* version of Rev that supported this: put "Fido" into cat["name"] put cat into mike["cat"] put the name of the cat of mike Anyway, just something to think about... SenseTalk has a lot of neat xTalk features I'd love to see in Rev (date math, lists and property lists, multiple chunks, methods of handling undelivered messages, etc.), but just thought I'd mention possessives vs. "my"...
