Also, if you keep what you've got and add the command set the hideconsolewindows to false your current terminal window will stay on the screen and not disappear when the command is done. Keep in mind, though, that shell is a blocking command, so you won't be able to do anything else until you do exi...

Ken- Maybe I'm the one over-engineering things here. I'm thinking of a group as a collection of objects. But a group can have properties as well. To save you from having to create a parallel array structure and maintain it along with the group (i.e., move the group of objects, then update the arrays...

Do I create a template object with the properties I want, and then clone it? LOL again... well, *you're* the one who mentioned sprites in the first place. I haven't done game development in many years, so I'm not the right person to take on questions in that area, that's why I suggested posting in ...

I'm tempted to post something about boots just for nostalgia. And change my name to something with a lot of numbers.<g>

Also, I *love* hearing "RTFM" if you'll just tell me which "FM" to read (extra points for links to relevant articles). LOL. Is there a better way to do this sort of thing in LiveCode? Am I over-engineering here? My first take on this is that you're not over-engineering things, but you might want to...

Ken- Yes, the IDE's built-in debugger is hopelessly entangled with the built-in script editor. I should point out, however, (ahem...) that PowerDebug works with both glx2 and the IDE's editor, so you're free to use either one as desired. You can check out the trial version of PowerDebug on revOnline...

It's also basic spammer rejection - you have to have built up a certain credibility here by x number of posts before you can attach files.

Aha! There were previous problems with double-clicking to open a stack. The openStack command works as expected inside the IDE, either from the messagebox or from the File menu. Looks like it might be an OS thing with the openStack command firing too soon and then the IDE prefs taking over or someth...

It works here LC 5.0.2 and OSX 10.6.8. What are you expecting to happen?

Well, we do that with glx2, but it has to be explicitly shoehorned in. The external script editor has to be able to handle stdin and stdout piping in order to hand the modified script back to LC. I don't see how this could be done in a generic way with the current IDE coding.

? On my planet we don't have a preference like that.

If you group a set of radio buttons, they will act the way you expect radio buttons to behave: only one button in the group can have a highlight, and you can query for the "hilitedButton of group x".

Ah, ok - got it. Philosophically I hate the fact that Python *forces* me to do what I want to do anyway... I'd like to think that I have control over the formatting, but whatever. <g> Anyway, the editor is a bit quirky for some historical reasons and isn't likely to change too much. I don't use it m...

Mark-

I know, the tool is "browse tool", but this is NOT the problem.

When I changed Johan's test stack for the proper syntax the test stack performed as expected in 5.0.2. YMMV.

Johan-

Your syntax is incorrect.
