I seem to remember inserting the script of a stack into back at some point
in the past. I know for sure you can start using the stack which is
effectively the same thing.
The main thing is that you don't need to "go" there to load the stack into
RAM. Just putting it in use does that, as does a

Someone in the forums was asking about retrieving the images from an ICO
file. The format seems pretty straightforward, and the internal image
sections are either BMP or PNG, so they'd work well in LC once extracted.
Has anyone here written a library for extracting image data from ICOs?

The dictionary implies that this can only be done with an "object" , hence the
assumption (probably wrong) that one needs to have the stack open…

Quite some time ago, I filled out the request for the semi-built in
advertising program fro mobile.
After ignoring it for weeks, I got a simple rejection from them.

You old OCDer, you. :-) Since behavior scripts are only referenced in a
"set the behavior" statement, I'm not sure where you'd use an initial flag.
But if I ever need one, I'd use "b" for "behavior". For now I just name
the button with a trailing "behavior" string,, i. e., "scrollBehavior".

Being prone to idealism,
Its ugly but, could you use pdf.js to extract the text in a browser widget
showing the pdf? http://git.macropus.org/2011/11/pdftotext/example/
Not sure what else is in pdf.js but it looks interesting.

Using the "pdftotext" component of Xpdf you can use a shell command to
extract the text from a pdf and place it into for example a text file
which you can then parse
something like..
