Hi,
Behaviors used to be called parentScripts. An option could be "this parent".
Also, currently syntax of the form "this control", "this button", "this
group" etc throws an execution error. It would be very nice if this
syntax would be used instead of "this me" and it would make sense.

And for the record, we're still talking about "this me", not the fact that
if the last item in a container or sub-container is empty, it is treated as

With an SQLite database in memory, and a "real" database either on
machine or remote, I need to sync the two.
I'm trying to find a clever & fast way to create a SELECT query that
produces the corresponding UPDATE query.
I can do something like "SELECT " & 'UPDATE sometable SET col1=''" &
