I opened the dictionary. I didn't need to select the API tab or the LiveCode Script API, those were selected. I typed "any" in the search box, but did not hit return or click the search button. A list containing "mobilPickMedia" showed up. Right above it, all by itself so it can be lost, is the word "any". I clicked on it and I got a description.
Of course, if one is learning the language... Why would anybody think to look for "any"? > On Jun 5, 2016, at 4:06 PM, Jerry Jensen <je...@jhjensen.com> wrote: > > I just spent a few minutes in the 8.0.1 dictionary and did not find it.
