OK, point taken, Xavier.
You can't have a stack named "Home".
Seems kinda stupid since the stack doesn't have the name, but, what
the heck.

Hi Dan,
With all respect but if you type
the effective filename of stack home
in the msg box you will get not false or an error
but your license.rev stack (well hidden eh?)...
MC also has one i think (substack of mchelp stack).
If it's possible, more power to you cause that's how it was working in
HyperCard (much better wasn't it?).
Sounds like another conflict just waiting to happen at the most
innoportune
moment if you trick this... Maybe the license stack is only checked at
startup so then you might be home free... But since the license
stack is in
the root folder of the rev installation in windows in the least
then it's
very probable that some stack name conflict might happen!
Just for your info... just in case...
I dont know if allowing us to use "home" or whether the license
deal is a
protection, nonetheless im dubiously dubitative on the possible
implications!
cheerios

Hi, Hamburger1!
Welcome to the Revolution.
WHile there are lots of options for this in Rev (Xavier has
already pointed out two), as an old stackhead myself I think
the best way to do this is to create a stack (you can even
call it "Home" for all Rev
cares!) to store all of this reusable stuff in and then when
you have a stack where you want to use it, just use a command like:
start using stack "Home"
This creates what Rev calls a "library" stack. It is so
darned efficient and effective that once you get used to it
you'll wonder how you lived without it. I have several such
libraries that contain related groups of scripts.
You'll also want to spend some time understanding the message
path in Rev, which is sufficiently different from HyperCard's
to cause some confusion in the early going. My book,
"Revolution: Software at th Speed of Thought", is available
through the RunRev store and has a good discussion of the
topic but may be a bit introductory level for someone with
serious HC experience. Richard Gaskin over at FourthWorld has
a great white paper on the message path and how you can
extend it with libraries, front and back scripts, etc. (URL:
http://www.fourthworld.com/embassy/articles/
revolution_message_path.html).

Where do I
put these scripts in Revolution?
