Yes, just like Add-Ons in the RunRev store or 3rd party extensions for LiveCode. Open Language will allow a add-on/stack library/external/whatever developer for LiveCode to have their widget use similar natural language syntax that (most) of LiveCode uses. >> >> 3. How does this get into the Dictionary? If I recall past public messaging on Open Language from RunRev correctly, when you add-on/extension/whatever contains an open language syntax defintion, their intent is to dynamically add it to the dictionary when the add-on/extension/whatever is loaded. >> >> 4.

It is only Fred's secret if he (a) wants it to be or (b) fails to communicate his add-on/extension's availability or (c) Fred tells everyone and no one sees, reads, or remembers his posts. Just as with any 3rd party add-on, library, or extension to LiveCode. >> >> Barney Rubble. > > What chance an answer to this? 100% > > Richmond. > > _______________________________________________ > 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 > _______________________________________________ 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
