Well, I'm dodging the cruise missiles that were launched over my head

But I think there's enough that I do understand to point me toward Claude. I'll give it a shot. Thanks.

BTW: What's "SoS files"?

I will freely admit that my experience with AI is limited to asking Google a question on my Android phone and listening to the response. I may also have posted this in the wrong place but "Software Engineering" seemed like a reasonable location.

I just read an article https://www.windowslatest.com ...

You let enough time go by without practice and you forget what you've learned. When I taught coding for seniors, I said "Google is your friend" and, sure enough, tonight while I was trying to find a solution to my coding issue, Google returned this thread which I started over eight years ago. The ...

A-ha! I DL'd v.98 of the HyperXTalk DMG, mounted it, dragged the enclosed app to my Applications folder, and double-clicked it. After the "DL'd from the Internet..." warning (which I approved), the app launched and, at this point, it seems to work as intended. So, Emily-Elizabeth, kudos to you.

I'm ...

Unfortunately, Sentinel did not resolve the issue. I forced a re-install of Rosetta2 using "softwareupdate --install-rosetta --agree-to-license" in Terminal but that didn't resolve the crash in LC Community 9.6.3 nor OpenXTalk. I wonder if having an M4 rather than an earlier M chip makes Rosetta2 ...

Tried launching OpenXTalk and got exactly the same crash as I experienced with LC Community 9.6.2. and 9.6.3.

RIP register does not match crashing frame...

I expect this is something with my machine, not the LC Comm or OpenXTalk. Suggestions welcome. Thank you.

Is there a binary (DMG) download of HyperXTalk?

I've been searching through the forum and it appears that LC Community Edition 9.6.3 should run in Sequoia. I have a MacBook Air M4 running Sequoia (15.7.5) but both 9.6.2 and 9.6.3 crash just after the splash screen shows "Loading Menu Bar...". The start of the crash report shows ...

Bill was always my favorite at Apple. Woz could do chip design better than anyone but Bill's HyperCard was the most beautiful app and inspired the WWW. In my last lifetime contributing to the El Paso Mac User Group, I dabbled in some MacPoetry. What's that? Here's an oldie:

Richard, Thanks for the detailed mbox explanation. I'm thinking that mucking about in the mbox file is substantially above my pay grade. :lol:

This specific task I am attempting may be unnecessary, as it turns out. As I was examining the Add-on "EditEmailSubject MX" which I have installed in TBird ...

Big Thank you! to all who responded. I tried Thierry's approach as it seemed to take into account the fact that the word "Subject:" for which I was searching was only a relevant find if it appeared at the start of the line. I modified the provided script (ever so slightly to personalize it for the ...

I have a stack with a field into which I drop a file from the Desktop (Windows Desktop in this case). The file is an eMail I've dragged to the Desktop from Thunderbird. No problem getting the contents of the file to appear in the field. I then need to search for the "Subject:" line of that eMail ...

I've been running 10.12.x for over a year. Updated to 10.12.6 when it came out. All security updates.

"hang" means exactly that: LC simply stops and refuses to respond. I must force-quit.

I must admit I haven't done any development work in a number of months so I'll have to play some and then post ...

I'm seeing on both my Macs where LiveCode 7.1.4 and 8.1.9 exhibit "hangs" at some inexplicable and random points; the spinning beachball starts and the app (in all windows) is frozen. Of course, I need to force-quit and re-launch.

I've examined the logs in Console and find a number of log entries ...

The popup command can't be used because it relies upon the mouse pointer being within the stack window. If you attempt to use it (even with a specific location where a btn is really located!) while the mouse pointer is outside the window, you either get an error:
"Message execution error:
