Thanks for your comments. I have just placed the DBRoutines into a substack and placed "start using" in the preOpenStack handler.
That seems to be a workaround for not having folders in the IDE. Are there any downsides to this method? I have downloaded and tried GLX2 but there are issues on my Mac concerning the display of text being corrupted. Something like —> in GLX2 would be useful in the LiveCode IDE. I also thought that an updated IDE was one of the stretch goals of the Kickstarter campaign. How is that going?
