Why, thanks. ;-) It's nice to hear a compliment every so often. >I could think of no better contribution to Revolution than applying >the same philosophy to: "Transcript The Book," by Jeanne DeVoto, et. >al. > >However, due to the extensive expansion of the language in MC and >Rev, this would now be a monumental task. Tell me about it. (Transcript 1.1 is about three and a half times the size of HyperTalk 2.2. I'm working on a cookbook of useful examples right now...but "a useful example handler for every language term" is going to be quite a goal given the size of the language. And of course there are other areas of the program besides the language that need better documentation, as well as people who have been asking for more in-depth introductory information. I'm working on it.) -- Jeanne A. E. DeVoto ~ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.runrev.com/ Runtime Revolution Limited - Power to the Developer!
