Richmond,
So the installation of plugins is a bit more customizable than I thought. My
instructions worked for Mac and Windows but not Linux if there is no
pre-existing location for them that the IDE already knows about. If there was
or you specifically told LIveCode where it should be my instructions might not
work.
I have updated the instructions for a fresh installation and also included the
following link to RunRev's installation page.

You should not need to change the suffix unless you are installing it for
Revolution instead of LiveCode.
I am, and your website claims that your plugin works for ALL versions
(might be a wee bit
of an over-generalisation - think of trying it with RunRev 1.0).
Sorry for the confusion.
Absolutely no need to apologise; I am (in case you hadn't worked it out
already) an awkward s*d.
HOWEVER; it is awkward s*ds like me who can push your plugin to its
extremes, and that isn't
necessarily a bad thing.

The installation instructions on the website are incorrect vis-a-vis Linux.
In Linux installs (well 4.0.0 and 4.5.0 at least) the Plugins folder resides
inside the same folder as the executable.
If you are using something a bit older than LC 5.0 don't forget to change the
suffix from '.livecode' to '.rev' on the plugin.
Over on my PPC Mac, inside the 'Documents' folder there is a 'My Revolution
Enterprise' which is potentially HIGHLY MISLEADING
as, if one right-clicks on the executable one finds at /Contents/Tools/Plugins
just the right place to put lcTaskList.rev
On opening the stack for my Devawriter Pro ( RR 4.5, macMiniPPC, Mac OS 10.4)
the plugin does nothing at all except slow things down considerably.
Let's have a go on Linux ( RR 4.5, DELL Optiplex 745, Xubuntu 12.04 with XFCE
4.10) - much the same.
!!!!!!!!!!
Now: is this not working because of Linux? Mac PPC ? Old versions of
RunRev ?
Possibly I am missing something; it wouldn't be the first time.
