Jim, Bob, I agree with you. However remember that you can use anything to edit the script...
put the script of the selobj into fld 1 of stack "myeditor" and set the script of the selobj to fld 1 of stack "Myeditor" Note that the plugin architecture of RunRev permits to trap the RevEditScript handler so you can insert your own plugin in there. so if your stack is a plug in and has the corresponding RevEditScript message handler in its' stack script on RevEditScript put the script of the selobj into fld 1 of stack "myeditor" end RevEditScript then, you're near home free ;-) except for all the good features i'll be releasing soon ;) The debugging however doesn't require tabs so using Rev's SE to do this shouldn't be too shocking ;) As far as i know there isn't a plugin hook to debug. And the RevEditScript has to be tested still (last i did, all i managed was to crash Rev but this is apparently fixed). As a PC user, the Rev Script Editor has come a long way to something that's more than quite useable and simple to use. Im sure you'll get used to it (as Mark said) before you know it or get used to your own way ;) cheers Xavier http://monsieurx.com On 01/07/2005 14:27:26 use-revolution-bounces wrote: >Bob, > >A very reasonable post.
