Yeah, in my effort to try to minimize my TL/DRs I didn't include a detailed specification, using colloquialism where more precision may have been useful.
I'm assuming they'd do something similar to what we have now with the pre- and post-build messages. When we consider those, the Plugins subsystem, pubsub, and the vast range of other IDE hooks, I feel pretty confident that they wouldn't suddenly change direction and make a locked-down hookless solution on this one.

I think we're all on the same page here. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Systems Software Design and Development for the Desktop, Mobile, and the Web ____________________________________________________________________ ambassa...@fourthworld.com http://www.FourthWorld.com _______________________________________________ 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
