I don't think I will follow......... ------------ I don't think the posts I've read are headed towards JAVA scripting as a replacement for Transcript. At least I hope not. It would make no sense. It's a cryptic, slow coding, caterpillar-like language by comparison to Transcript. It only became popular because of promotion on the web among Windows users who didn't have a clue about xTalk scripting languages at the time. I watched it happen, tried to tell a few people, and finally just shook my head and ran away into HyperCard. But, offering a *few options* borrowed from earlier languages which seem just as natural (x = 12) as Transcript and could actually make it more efficient might be OK. OTOH, if it starts looking and coding like Javascript, I'd consider that a step backward and be outahere too.
