I always struggled with this. I ended up putting a fully transparent grc

Still, adding images to a field for this kind of purpose is a great shout.
Even better if the mouse click handler can determine the column and row,
which isn't much of a trick.
Thanks for the insights.

hopefully I’ve set this email not to hijack Harry’s thread.
First thing to note is that LC ONLY structures arrays as tVar[0][0][0]...
But equally we can use, for example, tVar[x][y][z] or tVar[x,y,z] or even
tVar[x,y,z][u,v,w][r,s,t]
However, know that, if x=1, y=“two”, z=true then tVar[x,y,

Correct! In everything you say. [x,y,z] is, in LC space, a single
dimensional space and especially about use case. But then you are limiting
yourself to single dimensional thinking. Here is my next point that I was
coming to, so well done for preempting me.
Going back a bit, in a
On to Array use for File System Indexing:
Take a simple FS structure:
c:/
.FileC
Folder1
File1.txt
Folder2
Size (aka Folder2_1)
File2.txt
File2_1.png
Folder3
Folder4
Archive.zip
File4.doc
Say we want to store in our indexin
Sorry, I just wanted to add...
The keys of tTableA["c:/"] would be:
.FileC
.FileC,Date
.FileC,Kind
.FileC,Size
Folder1
Folder1,Date
Folder1,Kind
Folder1,Size
...
Folder4
Folder4,Date
Folder4,Kind
Folder4,Size
An alternative for "Kind" could be ("
Mark,
Give an example of what would be better, not just hit and run with a
'That's crap!' comment. Way to make me feel good for all the hard work put
in. THANKS BUDDY!
Do better!

I just downloaded and tested on my MBP16(2019), single screen, MacOS

BTW, visual effects work a dream and even macOS CoreImage effects work
great. Super. Hope to see more (HTML5, hint, hint) soon.

Touch tells it to update to now unless the date set is in the past and you
use the -d modifier.
If you install the Command Line Tools package from Apple on a mac you can
use the much better SetFile -d '12/31/1999 23:59:59' file.txt
On windoze, using powershell, send the command:

I used quotes wrong, use this:

replace "^" with quote in tShell
get shell(tShell)

Curry,
The issue here is that MS Word controls how that clipboard data is
transferred. As an example
Open the taskmanager
In Word, copy an image into the clipboard
In LC message box type
lock the clipboard; put the keys of the rawclipboarddata
Returns something like:
Art::GVML ClipForma
Curry,
even asking it to only return char 1 of rawclipboarddata["CF_BITMAP"]
crashes it so any attempt to read that data triggers an exception.
Remarkable. :D
