Thanks Richard! More questions (ideally of course you'd simply point me to the
guide I should have read to have answered these for myself)...

sort of got that. Is there a guide for how to develop, test, package,
distribute, install?
- libraries
Can be written in either LiveCode Script or LiveCode Builder.
Note that Builder now has some access to OS APIs, so if your
library needs that you'll write it in LC Builder.
OK. What makes it a library? Where do they go, how do they get loaded...?
- externals
Written in C or other low-level language that can compile to
machine code with the Externals SDK
... see previous remarks about the existing guide - is that still accurate?
- plugins
Any stack present in the Plugins folder so it can be opened
from the IDE's Development -> Plugins menu, usually custom
development tools.
So plugins are always stacks - or can they be these new-falutin' script-only
stacks I've heard about?
thanks as always,
Ben
