Potential Bugs In Field Coloring
Attached is a stack which illustrates two problems: 1. If the lines of a field have different background colors, if you delete a line, the text of the line is deleted and the rest of the text moves up, but the background color of that line is retained, and the background color of the subsequent line...

Re: get word after offset ?
If spaces are always element delimiters and not in the element values, you could set itemDelimiter to "space" first, then create an array or carriage-return-delimited list of elements. Then, set the itemDelimiter to "=" and for each line (or array element), item 1 would be the attribute and item 2 w...

"read from process pProcess until EOF"
to see if its waiting for a linefeed?

Re: Handle error on function
There's a note in the Dictionary entry on "openStack". It says to put functions you want to run once into the first card of the stack instead of the stack script. This worked when I tested your code. You may want to read about message paths in http://lessons.runrev.com/m/4603/l/44036-the-livecode-me...

Re: Any way to "send" exit to a handler?
Maybe make a global called "gExitNow". Initial it as false. In every loop in every handler add "if gExitNow then exit" and make sure there is a wait with messages clause in the loop so other event handlers get called. Create a handler for whatever you want as an exit handler that sets gExitNow to tr...

Re: Why so hard to purchase LC?
I've never had that problem. My bank is PNC. My international purchases have all gone through. Once in every 5 years or so their security department is triggered but a single short call to them clears it up in minutes (even at 2 AM at a gas station in rural Italy

You need a message receiver in the target stack, as in:

Re: How open directly inspector when the optionKey is down ?
I tried calling it - it's name is "revPropertyPalette 1". I tried opening it and could do so, but then the IDE thinks it is a user stack (it puts it's name in the stacksInUse property), not part of the IDE - it asks if you want to save or discard changes when you try to close it, so I don't know if ...

Re: Removing Certain Items from a Key In an Array
trueWord is interesting. It recognizes an apostrophe as part of the word if there is a character following the apostrophe (as in "don't", which is a contraction of two words), but not a dash in any case (as in "mother-in-law", which is considered a single compound word), or an apostrophe followed by...

Re: How open directly inspector when the optionKey is down ?
I was looking at this but found no solution. Note that in LC 7.0 rc1, the "doMenu" function did work on a few menu items (it worked on New Card but not the Property Inspectors), but only without the "of menuName" parameter, which caused a failure out to the Script Editor.
