I started calling him Dr Raney after you did, which was right after he deleted his email address due to excessive spam and started a new one that used his first name. I thought that was why you never put his name in print and I wanted to be equally considerate. His public statement about the ch

FWIW, I've never heard Dr. Raney refer to himself as such. Given his personality, I doubt he's at all invested in the title. I use it when referring to him only to annoy him as payback for the many arguments we've had about engine syntax. He's almost always been right in the end, which has m

Richard that is really great that Scott took some time to pursue what sounds like a really cool dream. Now, back to business :) I've never used behaviors much which is really bad on my part. I think I'll look into them. Thanks for the suggestion. On 1/27/2015 4:02 PM, Richard Gaskin wrote:

Thanks Bob. What I'm actually doing is executing something like 'set the script of button myButton to myScript' where myScript is greater than 16 lines. Historically this has worked in the IDE but fails in the standalone because of the limitation. On 1/27/2015 1:21 PM, Bob Sneidar wrote: I

I think the 16 line limit was for in line compilation, as in creating a list of commands and executing them with a do command. I do not think it means that every script in a standalone is limited to 16 lines, and I believe that limit has been removed anyway, or else greatly increased. Bob S
