Hey: my specs have a very jazzy filter in them as my eyes were getting damaged by staring at large monitors!

No; I think a lot of the problem comes down to whether one wants to used quotes or not:

set the textColor of the selectedText to "yellow"

works, while plain yellow seems, sometimes (and there's the rub) to mean 'blue'; oddly enough plain red means 'red'.

So you now have all sorts of opportunity to make the rather obvious jokes about colour blindness, alcoholic tendencies and so on :-)

Yes, and it has been going blue for the last 12 years, both on Linux
and on my Macintosh PPC computers with earlier recensions of Livecode.

No, not really, but more like Richmond's blue 5 minutes.

I am having a small, silly problem:

When I type this:

set the textColor of the selectedText to yellow

the text goes *BLUE*. :-(
