No, I'm just not that deep! I checked, I have 97 cases of "create", and 27
pages where "create" and "control" appear, but no "controlcreate" or
"createcontrol" cases.
Some of these things are quite new, and you would l want to be looking in the
help and release notes for v5.5.3.

redict what the commands are going to do,
create, or even what they are good for (no pictures, for example).
It looks like a useful command to know. I was wondering if you cover it in
your book?
Thanks

Sure you can write
a = 1
but it will be in an 'if' construction, and the result will be either true or
false. There are or were languages where the boolean equality sign was
distinguished from the assignment sign: in Algol, if I remember rightly, we
wrote
a := 1

I don't think that's a bad thing. Earlier today I used LiveCode as a reference
in discussing a Director ability.

Well it doesn't need to be mutually exclusive,does it?
Lingo does have the two modes as well - verbose and concise.

And that is how it should be... as you say, you have lots of choice elsewhere
if you wish to use dot syntax notation. I for one am glad that livecode are
trying, but they have strayed a little, to keep the language as English like as
possible..

It took seven months to write the book, if I had been asked to write extra
chapters that were beyond the scope of the book (like, general LiveCode
beginner chapters), I doubt if I would have wanted to!
Some others here were writing books too. Not sure how those are coming along.

Hello,
I got a question related to mobile development using LiveCode...
It seems to me as if mobile development has been "added" to LiveCode,
