Hi, Chipp. I was thinking your code fragment had come from a *command*. If it
had, then I think my code fragment would've been equivalent to yours.
In a *function*, you could do it like this:
send "initMe" && ch

Does that answer your question, Chipp?

Want to use fewer lines, Chipp? How about this?

Nicolas,
The mouseMove in that old example was just to demonstrate how to invoke the
core code, and to show that the result of executing it ch
Hi, Nicolas. Your problem sounded familiar, so I found a relevant previous
post. Does it work for you?

Hi, Jacque. I guess that's why union and intersect can produce wrong results
for mixed-case strings. Is that right?

They both fail with caseSensitive true.
on mouseUp
local a,b,c,d
set the caseSensitive to "true"
put 1 into a["a"]
put 2 into b["b"]
put 3 into b["B"]
union a with b
-- missing a["b"]
put 1 into c["c"]
put 2 into c["C"]
put 3 into d["c"]
intersect c with d

Thanks, Pete. I misunderstood the OP.

Hi, Geoff. Here's a way to memoize without parsing the functions' arguments,
so commas won't be a pain.
local sMemo
function memoize pFunctionName, pParam1, pParam2
local tDigest
put md5( the params ) into tDigest
if tDigest is among the keys of sMemo then
get sMemo[ tDigest ]
Now that you've made your code work, you can consider making it shorter and
faster.
LiveCode supports the syntax:
put into
For example,
put gUSL <= pos_vrange and gUSL >= neg_vrange into Tester[x]["rng_check"]
