OK Richard, sorry for the TL;DR. Here is what I was trying to present: Mark S. presented a line of code: repeat with x = 100 down to 0 with messages I was surprised to see, in a single line of code: repeat ... WITH MESSAGES which isn't in the dictionary syntax description for "repeat". Mark responded: The "with messages" clause makes a repeat loop non-blocking. I tried it - the compiler didn't complain, and it ran. I wondered: WHAT DOES THAT DO? UNBLOCK AT EACH LOOP END? Then I wondered: IF ITS LEGAL AND USEFUL, WHY ISN'T IT IN THE DICTIONARY? Sorry for the confusion. I still wonder. Over to you. .Jerry PS the thread is now out of control. _______________________________________________ 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
