Hey, no naughty words in the forum. You'll get banned.

@Bogs,

Where have you been? On that couch again? Missed you. The code snip is KOOL. Thanks.

As I was using the textStyle property and writing it over and over again to single out certain words in the text, I wondered if there was a way to do it more gracefully, but I guess, I got the job done. What a pain to count through 300 words to find the right number to style. Sheesh.

Klaus,
Thanks for pointing "toUpper" out. I'm trying to learn the commands but I can't always find them in the dictionary since I don't know what to search for. I end up spending a lot of time searching everywhere using the wrong search term. Kind of like the infinite loop.

The little Story Maker lesson is now as done as it is going to get. I'm going to look at the lesson you recommended to see what kind of trouble I can get into next.

I'm an admin, so I'm moderately scared.

That was Mr. Bogs!
I only made a joke about your typo, which obviously noone noticed.

how to set the first char of a word to a capitol letter.

Oh Dear: its the return of the thing from the Swamp.

Klaus, I am pretty sure I got 'toUpper' from you at some point, so technically she is correct

Well, technically we are all related to Henry VIII, or was it Karl the Great?
Whatever, you get the picture!

I'm curious as to whether anyone knows the downsides of setting the script editors field to wrap (set dontWrap to false).

I actually tested this, but only lightly with about 6 handlers. I didn't see any detrimental issues pop up, the text wrapped neatly in the editor window, what am I missing?

Hacking the IDE again, eh?

But this might be worth its very own thread in "Talking LiveCode'. Why not start one?

Well, I thought that since this was the primary question of the thread title "Option for wrapping Code Editor text" it should be a good time to put it here, but it certainly could go anywhere

Yah, Richard is a bad influence on me

I'm guessing it would throw off the line number list.

For the scripter, I can envision usability problems, never able to know by looking at the text whether what you're seeing is a separate statement or a continuation of the statement above it.

That could be, I guess I'd have to rig a test to find out if the SE actually uses line numbers for anything (like the debugger), or if it uses the LF or CR or return instead.

Would there be any downside ramifications? The only thing I know of that depends on the line number is the soft breakpoint, and that DOES NOT work anyway.

UTR. Bug #?

UTR?

Soft breakpoints stick now????

That alone is reason enough to migrate to v9.

Are you referring to the red dot in the line numbers list? That's always worked for me. If there's a bug report we should jump on it. The IDE is scripted, I'll bet one of us could fix that in a jiffy.
