Ken, I am defenitely sure that you are right. I am a newbie in Revolution and for each statement I am translating I have to browse the helpfile, so most of the time I am orientating. Moreover the first exercise I am doing is translating one of my Toolbook applications from OpenScript to Transscript and I took the simplest app. of course. So no ActiveX, no DHTML, no SharedUser, just native programming.
I think it would be very much misplaced to criticize Transscript after such a short time. Maybe later, if I decide to keep working in Rev., and have more experience in it, I will post a list of things.
For now let me tell you that using "=" for 'set to' or 'put into' makes editing simpler. The same for If...then: why not simply if.
BTW: I translated "Open Anything" to OpenScript. Here you encounter the power of 32 bit. Reading a textfile of less than 32000 chars REV is much faster than TB. Over 32000 chars TB has a problem, Rev not.
Greetings Rob

Please bring them up here! I'll bet you that half the time it *is* in Rev, it's just that it's named something different or implemented differently. But for the *other* half, it would be good to know so we can try to get it implemented for Rev.
For example, my limited use of TB turned up a wonderful construct for working with system DLLs and the Windows API that would be great if Rev would adopt... but anything else you can add would be great.
