Thierry - would be good to understand a bit more. It looks like I've done
the same sort of thing - defined a meta structure for Livecode objects, and
for the same sort of reasons. However I "think" you've mapped them to a more
robust model, while I've more or less duplicated the existing LiveCode

Hi Richard,
Well, it's a big topic. :)
First, I used this approach in all my *industrial* projects,
as BioArchimed for instance - can see it on my web pages.
For the sake of the story,

It can be done, but it's *really* ugly. Determine the ID you want to
create (it's best to create a numerically-sorted list if you're doing
more than one), then start creating and
ore them for faster access)
Probably there was more, but these are the
features that I remember well.

Would be nice if you can elaborate this one,

It does Jeff - thanks lots of detail there to translate into good 'ol code

That's what all the dead duck thought just before that "big bang".

David,
Be aware that this type inference will cost you cpu and degrade performance
if used constantly in the code like thousand steps in a loop. If it is a
variable which you control all the lifecycle, then you could attach metadata
to it and thus be able to create a little type system which I thi
If it quacks like a duck it is a duck.
So I have some data in a variable that I want to display. I can use is an
array/number/date - but for other types of data I'm wandering... xml should
be easy, but harder would be to distinguish long text files from binary. Any
ideas for hacks to distinguish:
