For me, the problem is that there isn't a separate keyword column so there
isn't a list you can scan down. Keywords, glossary entries, and syntax
examples are all treated equally in a single column so it's too easy to
miss things. I think the separations in the old dictionary made it easier
to locate or discover terms.

Thanks Dar,
I also just found it. I guess I didn't see it because it is the first
entry, at the top of the list, just as you noted. The old saying "Can't see
the forest from the trees" is at play here.
Sincerely,

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"?

I just spent a few minutes in the 8.0.1 dictionary and did not find it.
That thing is useless! Maybe its because I’m new to 8, but where is “any"
documented? How in the world does one find it?

I feel that I am somewhere in another world.
Can someone please explain to me where the "Any Item" or even Just the
command "Any" is documented? I can't seem to find this.
Sorry if this sounds like a stupid question, but when I see something that
is new to me, I have to explore it and its uses.

Subject: Cubist's first bug report
Code which exhibits the bug:
on mouseUp
put "0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0" into Fred repeat 100 times
add 1 to any item of Fred
put Fred into line (1 + the number of lines in fld "testbed") of fld
"testbed"
end repeat
put sum (Fred) into line (1 + the number of lines in fld "testbed") of fld
"testbed"
end mouseUp
This handler *should* end up generating a 16-item string of integers which
sum to exactly 100. What it *actually does* end up generating, is a 16-item
string of integers whose sum may or may not fall somewhere within the range
80-120. Not sure what the hell is going on here, but I am not at all happy
about it. Perhaps other people might like to try this code on their
systems, and see if it works as intended for them?
