I don't think presenting an answer that relies on shell will help prove 
LiveCode's power. Actually, it would be easy to trim the fat from the example 
code and get something close (but still more verbose) to his second version. 
Perhaps more readable. Still... his first version meant not having to explain 
recursive programming to the high school kids which nice. But like I said 
before... completing his whole project without having to use wxPython is 
definitely going to be easier for the high school kids to understand.
