IT would be less of a pain were IT explicitly stated as to what IT could
be applied and what IT couldn't.
I also suspect that new users find IT extremely esoteric.
Richmond.....
My first reaction was, "Well it just is what it is." Kinda Zen-like don't
you agree? :-)
But on reflection, I think you're right. Though I have a deep background in
HyperCard where IT originated, I suspect that IT is a source of confusion
for lots of folks.
Accordingly, I'm embarking on writing The Complete Guide to IT. Coming soon
a an eBook near you.
Before you complete the ebook check in on BZ#3700:
<http://support.runrev.com/bugdatabase/show_bug.cgi?id=3700>
The enhancement request to have "it" return the full path when creating
a folder has been confirmed, which suggests it may be implemented at
some point.
Richmond's perception about the pattern is useful, and it seems that at
least Oliver at RunRev agrees.
I imagine it would be relatively simple to implement -- I wonder how
hard it would be to get that into the next build....
