Mikey.........
There is not a single-document reference that lists all the objects and the properties they have and the messages they can receive. I think that's a serious need, however.
When I published my first HyperTalk book, many of my readers told me the appendix I had that did just this was the most valuable part of the book a good deal of the time. WHen I started my Rev book project, I intended to create such a reference for Transcript/Rev but when I discovered that hugely greater number of objects -- and the significantly greater number of properties and messages for each -- I decided it was a book all by itself and one for which there would probably not be enough of a market to warrant the huge time it would require.
Am I wrong? Is there a market?

Mikey,
As usual, I'm not quite clear what it is exactly that you want.
Doesn't the help/documentation/object/object/object you want/properties (or messages), give what you you're asking for?

I believe devolution only lists properties that are editable, right? What about read-only properties?
Anyboty have any suggestions on how to figure out what messages a particular class of object receives? There are several types of buttons, but some receive different messages from others.
