Yes, audio is playing while the visual effect happens with no audio issues. Setting the currentTime didn't seem to fix the redraw. I do want to keep the controller on the card as there are multiple windows that each may have playing audio of their own. I don't see a redraw command... On Dec

Sort by length of line (Rant)

Mark. My gut sense was that the sort should do what I wanted, that is, to assemble the list according to the number of chars in each line. But the tool I used, "sort by the length of each", is working correctly. The length of a line resolves to a number, and so you are, in the end, sorting

I wanted a text sort. I see that LC resolves the length function as a number, the length of the line in question loaded into the local variable each. So a word with 10 chars is sorted before a word with 9 chars. It is the loading of "each" that makes this correct, and sensible. Mark, you will

I suspect the behavior you are seeing is because telnet acts like its own shell process, and isn't displaying to stdout of the shell that starts it, but rather is talking to itself. Unlike stuff like grep/etc that display to stdout of the calling shell. Hence seeing the stuff before, and the stuff
