Thank you for taking the time to answer my request, Mark, I appreciate it very much.
So, yes, I was using a mac to do that scripting. And yes, your comments were right on. There is one more component to my mess, though, namely that I had deleted some of the auto-added menu items, such as Preferences. This I think created chaos at some level. I wish we had better documentation of all of these details in LiveCode, but I'm not holding my breath, having used it and its ancestors for many years. But with your help I was able to at least get something working. rand Message: 10 Date: Sun, 10 Jul 2011 01:13:22 +0200 From: Mark Schonewille <m.schonewi...@economy-x-talk.com> To: How to use LiveCode <use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> Subject: Re: missing menu items Message-ID: <6e10509d-b732-470b-86ec-7ccaa9f27...@economy-x-talk.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Hi Rand, I bet you're on a Mac. The Quit menu item is in the application menu as is the preferences menu item. Don't remove these items from the default menus and all will be fine. The "item" right above the Quit and Preferences menu items must be a divider (dash). -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
