Alan, thanks for your two messages. II’m doing most of what you suggest (not
using accuracy so far, but the prudent person probably should do!), but

Hi Graham
So, how do you define a "meaningful" GPS signal?
The GPS data you'll receive from locationChanged messages may have nothing for
1-n messages at the start, followed by an increasingly accurate number of
messages (as measured by the "horizontal accuracy" and/or "vertical accuracy"

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

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

I have a very long string.
In the middle-end part of the string I have “(x)” where x represents some

need to.

Pay no attention to the previous post, which only dealt with a single integer.
Sloppy.
THIS old fashioned method works, though:
