I agree, Sarah. This is part of the deep need to re-do the
out-of-the-box experience IF RunRev wants to go after the newbie
market. And they do seem to wish to do that.

Hi Dan,
HyperCard came with a bunch of starter stacks accessible through the
Home stack. The most interesting for me as a newbie were in the "Stack
kit" section, especially "Stack templates", "Readymade buttons",
"Readymade fields" and even "Background art". This meant that with
only copy & paste, I could quickly build a functional stack.
After that, I started editing the scripts to make the stacks more the
way I wanted them, but it is always easier to start by modifying
rather than by creating from scratch.
I think this has been suggested before, but for my money, a "Stack
kit" with plenty of well commented examples, would be a great way to
introduce newbies to Revolution.
Cheers,
Sarah

As a result of a long and intriguing thread about Rev docs, I have
decided to step up and offer to do (or assist others in doing and
editing) a bunch of Revolution/Transcript step-by-step tutorials as a
contribution to the community from which I have drawn so much.
Now it's your turn. Please respond to this topic ONLY with your
(prioritized if possible) list of topics you feel are important to
your needs and not covered by How To's or recipes in the current
documentation. After a suitable period has passed and we've gathered
enough votes, I'll suggest a list of topics to be tackled, more or
less in order.
If you have partially finished tutorials or stacks that would lend
themselves to tutorials but your lack of writing experience or time
prevents you from fashioning step-by-steps out of them, let me know
that (here or via private email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]) and I'll
take a look and see if I can help you polish them.
