Bill,
Using this approach assumes that the original text is either UTF-8 encoded or
that it is plain ASCII with no "funny" characters with a charToNum value above
127. I don't think it will work
Dave,
Thanks for the comments.
I won't actually know what the source of the text files will be. The most
common examples will be as export files from any other password management
program on Mac or Windows like 1Password, etc. or as a Save As CSV from Excel.

Pete - thanks for your reply (the only one so far - are there no XML users on

structure in LC can be extended at will rather than having to be declared
before use, although I'm not sure about a structure where some 'nodes' w

Doesn't Livecode have a complete XML Library? I just searched for XML in the

Thanks Ken and Warren. In 99% of cases, the font, size, style, etc are
left at whatever LC's default is, which sounds like the system font for the
platform. I like the idea of having a small test application to find the
best solution for this, plus thanks Ken for the frontscript and other
ideas.

I don't believe any program can unless there is a way to do it built into the

something is actually happening in the OS when the user interacts with those

Hi Ken,
Thanks you for the scripts. I've basically adopted your approach of
setting the font based on what OS I'm running on and that makes things look
a LOT better! I think property profiles would do the job and I could just
set the appropriate profile based on OS at start up but I need to figur
