I have a friend who gets very annoyed that "the Americans always control things." When I ask for clarification of this I get, "Well... For instance, why does the States have to be 001 in the international dialing....? Answer me THAT..!" The answer... "We invented the telephone. If you want to control something, invent it." That shut him up.
If you want a language to be controlled in whatever language you want... Invent one. > On May 11, 2015, at 9:30 AM, Richmond <richmondmathew...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > >> On 05/11/2015 03:40 PM, Geoff Canyon wrote: >>> On Mon, May 11, 2015 at 3:29 AM, Mark Waddingham <m...@livecode.com> wrote: >>> >>> As a case in point, I just opened up revNavigator from the plugins menu - >>> and it works in 7.
