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.
