I suppose in a way it is easy.
Whenever you change something in the code, visit the documentation and change
that as well or is changing the docs not in the job description of those
carrying out the programming.
Job Descriptions are the death of creativity.
If not it should be.
If you do not change the docs and inform then what chance have mere mortals got.
All the best

This in the docs:
"Tip: When setting the points property, you can separate the individual points
with a comma instead of a return. The points property is always reported with the
points on separate lines, however.”

Aha: so the 'Tip' now needs to be removed.
I wonder exactly WHY the thing was changed?
From the point of view of teaching & writing a book on Livecode, a
Language-cum-IDE that keeps changing features like that
(especially if those changes are left for folk to stumble on, rather than
documenting them in LARGE, RED letters) is going to
be seen as a pain-in-the-B.
Certainly, it would be VERY NICE indeed if the "good folks" at RunRev could put
together a COMPREHENSIVE list of changes
(i.e. not just the fancy, eye-catching ones they use for marketting) post
version 7 so that people like myself, who haven't
got all the time in the world for messing around with Livecode on the
off-chance that well stumble upon some new, undocumented
change, can plan our Summer courses properly so we don't end up with egg all
over our faces come July.

So tried the "carriage return" thing, & YES, it worked . . . of course the
Documentation was RIGHT all along, it was the pre-7 IDE
that was wrong.
