Bill, I think you’re right about the
Correct about the guide. A PDF is included which can be searched (help... user

Bill, I think you’re right about the Guide not being searchable. I was going to
point it out myself, but I began to think that I had used up my grumbling
allowance, or at least I had not much left and needed to use it for other
things.
Of course the Giude should be searchable!

Re grumb
Folks:
I think Graham is doing LiveCode a favor by pointing out some of the ways a
newby (even though he isn’t) might get messed up when learning LiveCode. We all
get used to various approaches and newbies (even tho Graham isn’t) alert us to
impediments for that very vital population of potentia

When I need a calculated constant I use a script local variable instead and
populate its content on preopencard or preOpenStack. After that its

Thanks Klaus, you are very patient with my stupid questions, as is Alex.
In general I am looking for ways to define stuff in the IDE to create objects
and align them etc during the design phase, rather than make such essentially
static things happen at run time. It seems silly to have to run a
