Hello, I would really, really, like to see RunRev include a scrolling list dialog, without having to use a field or another stack. The prime example is the ShowList external available for HyperCard. You can see a version of this in the HC PowerTools stack. This would be of major enabler for me to be able to convert over to Revolution.
