If you have a handler:
command foo parm1, at parm2
--do stuff that puts a new value into parm2
end foo
.. then you call it:
foo tlocal1,tlocal2
... tlocal2 will contain the new value put into it after foo

it.

In general I use functions when the main point is to process something and
return a value, and I use command handlers when I want to "do" something

can you show how to set the scroll of a stack, and make objects move about by
that?
because I tried and it didn't work with:
set the scroll of this stack to 200
set the scroll of this stack to -20
set the vscroll of this stack to 200
set the hscroll of this stack to 200
getting works tho, as per
As with all things "visual" there is a handedness that is gender based; the

you build things if you want both genders to "see" things in exactly the same
way. I have been told that about 90% of males read from left t

So you think that card creation would be racemic in nature? As many left handed
cards as right handed? But surely someone would soon come up with a plugin that
ensured an optically pure creation of new cards. Then we would be back to where
we are now, purely left handed cards, as it should be.

Oopsie! I meant this to be a back-channel message to Jacque.

I think I understand your arguments. I'm not convinced, though.
If you had a complicated nest of scrolling fields, scrolling cards, scrolling
backgrounds and a scrolling stack, you'd really have a mess. Inexperienced

Hi,
I never thought about it before, but now I'm wondering. Is there any rational
reason that native scrollbars can be enabled for fields and groups but not for
