One word of German that stuck in my mind
from an attempt to learn another language
was "strassenbarnhaltensteller" (the spelling
is just from memory and is no doubt wrong)
but it means "tram stop".

Yes, and to compound my error I used
"hilitedLine" rather that "hilitedLines"!

Thanks hh. That works.

I have three scrolling fields. When I click on a line in field 1 then on a line in field 2 the line in field 1 remains hilited which seems to cause some confusion in the code to put the hilited line into another field. The Dictionary says that the hilitedLine is a comma-delimited list of numbers so ...

I have a variable which the user can change in a drop-down list. A change of this variable will trigger a re-calculation of data. Can I have code which will start this re-calculation when the user changes the variable (after a suitable warning)? I could use an ask dialogue if I could attach code to ...

Due to advances in display technology the human eye
can't discern any difference between the latest
display resolution and the previous one so in
fact we all have "low-res" eyes now.

Waiting for the bionic eye implant before I
get a new monitor.

Craig Tried all the usual but as usual I'd found a new way to confuse LC. I'd declared the array as global but when I added it to the list I'd separated it from the previous global with a "." instead of a ",". Took a bit of finding what with these hi-res monitors and low-res eyes. Must try harder bu...

Would still like to know how I can watch a variable
so that the stack stops when it changes as I now
have an array which "disappears" at some point
after it's been initialized.

A fairly usual facility in all the programming languages
I've used.

Thanks for that. Will give it a try.

Was surprised to find on listening to
Pete Seeger again that his songs seem
to be as relevant now as they were back
in the '60s. And of course I was "there".

Do you mean move the field? Your title sort of indicated you wanted to move a line within that field.

Want the user to be able to move the field as it
might otherwise obscure other info.

Can I have a scrolling list field which can be moved
by the user?

Well, I found the mysterious "Z" just where I expected it to be - despite the fact that I'd searched the same code a number of times for it. Definitely got a gremlin in the works. Some code to put numbers in a field to let the use know work was going on didn't - until I put in a break-point and step...

Without seeing code it is hard to say.. Do a search for "Z" or a search for the field name incase there is a spot you missed.. I did all that - more than once without success. Think I'll make a copy with a new name "ZZZZZ", show all the hidden stuff and hide the things I know are OK. There might be...

I have a scrolling list field and during development I wrote code to put "Z" after certain fields. Now I don't want the "Z" I can't get rid of them. I've been through all the code and can't find anything that is adding the "Z". Another gremlin? An undocumented feature? A brain failure? Suggestion on...

I have some code which uses a loop repeat with x = 10 to 50 after each loop I want numbers put into a variable which includes x e.g. when x = 10 put Ones into "Ones" & x --- want it to go into variable Ones10 but LC gives me a "bad destination" for all the combinations and variations I've tried. Of ...
