Thanks Terry, but I still don't get it. Why does SC expect a decimal when given a location? It doesn't return a decimal when I _ask_ for a location! Dave...

Hi, This is a pre-release-release just for the SC group. ... Conjure 1.0 is a free-form desktop replacement, organization tool, and sketchbook. It lets you...
OK, good SC people... I think I have isolated the problem. Seems my text has an ascii char (number 0) inserted between each and every standard visible char....
... Yes, I remember it's name now. I did say that I'm using the RTE. ;-) ... No help there then, for gluing my two projects together. ... Well, thanks anyway. ...
... Here it is: put loc of wd 1 into vLoc put (item 1 of vLoc) +50 into item 1 of vLoc put (item 2 of vLoc) +65 into item 2 of vLoc set loc of wd 2 to vLoc ...
... ASCII char number 0 is the null character and it's (always?) invisible - guaranteed to sabotage attempts to parse text containing it. I don't know how to...
... add 50 to item 1 of vLoc would be simpler and the parenthesis are useless anyway. Otherwise I don't see where is the error. Did you trace it ? on which...
... Ahhhgggg!!! Thank you Stéphane - you have just saved my sanity with that last question of yours!! About 300 lines back in my script I had accidentally...
... BTW, I can still remember one of my teachers in computer science saying "when your function can't fit on the screen, it's too big, you must split it in...
Your comment is well taken Stéphane. I do make efforts to separate routines and functions (it certainly makes trouble shooting a whole lot easier), but you...
Hi Dave, In the shared script there is a mousewithin handler: on mouseWithin if not (the foreground) then pass mousewithin if cmdKey() = down and optionKey() =...
In HC days there was a program called Compileit that turned HC handlers and functions into machine language to aid in quicker processing. Does SC have a...

In BBEdit, there is a command called "zap gremlins" which has saved my bacon on more than one occasion when I was moving text from one place to another, (such...
Hi John, Thanks for your input, this is good advice. I've never tried to access the shared script before - and can't seem to access it now. Maybe that's...
Okay, there just HAS to be a simple explanation for this - and I'm going to end up looking foolish yet again! :-) I've just created an additional window for my...
If someone really wanted to help SC or HC people... they would write a XTalk source to Ansi-C translator... then anyone could run the resulting C language...
Okay folks, everything's under control now. Sorry I hit the panic button - again! I inadvertently set the window's style to "Movable" thinking it just meant I...
Hi Dave, Movable in this context is Movable Dialog window - which is why it is grouped with Dialog on the list, so it behaves like a modal dialog box except...
Hi Dave, ... You can't 'import' a HC stack into a SC project at all. You must first convert the HC stack to a SC project, then you could create a new window in...
Hi Ken, Thank you for your comments. I'd pretty much concluded that I'd have to build my new windows from the ground up, recycling my old scripts, as you...
