Hi Splash, any further thoughts on your last questions and my post. I'm sort of still trying to figure this compile thing out. Since I want to save the notes in the notepad stack does that mean it cannot absolutely ever be compiled? I am beginning to think that is my error in thinking. I was thinking I could compile my simple Notepad application because it works fine in the run/edit environment but apparently that does not mean it can translate to a compiled environment.
I created a simple splash program that says: on startup -- hide this stack -- close this stack -- go to stack the utargetstack of this stack answer "Notepad3-s" go to stack "/Users/Mark/runrev/stacks/Notepad/Notepad3" end startup on preopenstack -- lock screen to true -- set visible to false -- hide this stack answer "Notepad3-p" go to stack "/Users/Mark/runrev/stacks/Notepad/Notepad3" end preopenstack In the interpretive mode I know it is using preopenstack. But not even that is working. Any attempt to get this program to load and run the Notepad stack ends up doing nothing? I use Meanwhile when I manually load and run the notepad program it works just marvellous. This does seem to me like such a simple problem (a) I have a perfectly functional stack (b) I would like to run it without requiring the editing environment (or runtime environment). Compiling it as a standalone seems the way to go. I have done that but it will not save new notes (into itself). This is well documented. Solution is to write a "splash" program that calls Notepad. Not working. Also, it would be real nice not to have to "hard code" the path in case I want to change its location. Having to manage two stacks instead of one does seems like an added burden. Stumped.
