Excellent Detective work Dar. It also reinforces a habit I'm trying to develop when writing switch statements, and that is to always use the default as a catch for cases I haven't considered: switch L case (5) handler1 break case (5.0) handler2 break case (5) handler3 break case (5.0) handler4 break default answer Switch statement error return Handler: myHandler return Paramater L: L exitGracefully end switch Obviously, from what you're saying, handler3/4 would never run, but more importantly, if 5. (decimal point byt no zero) got into L, I should get immediate feedback that I haven't correctly taken it into account in my switch structure. I've wasted a lot of time stepping through scripts that don't do what they're suppose to do and often it is because I've added a feature to and old stack and don't realise that this new feature now puts new values into properties that get checked by some buried switch structure which completely ignores it because it was never part of the original cases considered. Using default as a catch nails it instantly.

Scripter's Scrapbook and PayPal problems
Dear Hugh, as others may be also affected by the way PayPal handels transactions I send this post to the use-list, too. I remember having had similar problems with PayPal some time ago. Following the half-price link in your offer to this list I read on your web page that a number of credit cards are accepted, from Visa to Solo - 9 in all including American Express. On the order page of Paypal for the Scrapbook, which at first appears in English, I see that these credit cards can be used, but as soon as I choose Germany as the country option the text changes to German (including some spelling mistakes) and asks for my bank account for manual transfer of the price. Happily, there is still an option button credit cards, which however offers only the choice between Visa and Mastercard. I looked at other countries and see that from Great Britain or Austria you can indeed use American Express with PayPal, but not from France and Germany. What is the reason behind such a differentiation between countries? Is it maybe a corollary of the opposition of France and Germany against the Iraq war? Very strange. Or maybe it has to do with George W. Bush's dislike of weapons of math instruction (see the article recently posted to this list)? O.K., I followed the option of Mastercard for my order, tried about six times and was never accepted because PayPal was not to be convinced that my account number is correct. The validity of my Mastercard is from 2005 to Dec 2008. I have made a number of online purchases with this card in the last months and nobody had so far complained about a wrong number. Then I again switched to the English page, choose U.S.A. as my country and entered my Florida address and phone number and my American Express details. This has worked before when buying from firms like CompUSA, Radio Shack, or Circuit City. PayPal accepted my AMEX entries, but did not like my U.S.A. address - maybe because this address is not sufficiently connected with my German bank account from which AMEX payments are withdrawn. I consider asking American Express to honor my American address as also connected to my German bank account; this would also enable me to profit from the considerably lower prices RunRev charges from its customers in the U.S.A.- Next, I found a button my PayPal account, and indeed I appear to have used such an account before as they listed my correct address. However, at this point even the options for Visa and Mastercard were gone! Only manual transfer from my bank account was left as a possibility. For safety reasons in such an unstable and dangerous country as Germany?- Without entering anything I chose a proceed (or something similar) button, and shortly afterwards got a transfer receipt - without any indication in which way the money was going to be transferred. Your Scripter's Scrapbook registration key arrived about an hour later. One problem occured when entering my data into the Scrapbook: The registration form does not accept the @ directly from the keyboard (on Windows XP), I had to use ALT+64 to place the @ into my email adress. At last PayPal indeed informed me in a new post I had to go to my bank and transfer the price manually. So although I have already got my Scrapbook key you will have to wait for a few days until my money should arrive. PayPal says somewhere on their pages to address customer support (or the like) in case of problems, but nowhere could I find a link to do that. I recommend that you - as a customer of PayPal - should inform PayPal about these problems. I will do so myself once I have found a PayPal address to voice my opinions about inedaquate programming, a widespread nuisance of which we - as programmers and Revolution users - are sufficiently aware and annoyed. I frequently use my credit cards for online buying of books, software etc. and almost never have run into problems. The only other firm I had trouble with was Apple when I bought a Quicktime Pro license two years ago: They accepted my AMEX payment immediately and got their money, but failed to deliver the registration key. It then took five weeks, 10 emails, and two international phone calls until they finally succeeded to send the key I had paid for more than a month earlier.

Problems with my eyes: RR Documentation
Wow, I must be feeling the effect of encroaching age - on my 1280 x 1024 screen (17) I am having a really tough time reading some of the documentation. I opened up my revDocs stack and set the fontsize to a bigger size - which was a great improvement for most of the documentation. However, doing this was a bit of a fiddle - and I have a funny feeling that others may also find the fontsize too small. Now, the clever thing would be a way to set the fontsizes of the Documentation via the Preferences, just as one can set the font and its size for the Script Editor (I personally favour size 18). sincerely, Richmond Mathewson I have just read and signed the online petition: Hinge Bracket hosted on the web by PetitionOnline.com, the free online petition service, at: http://www.PetitionOnline.com/HandB/ I personally agree with what this petition says, and I think you might agree, too.

Re: Scripter's Scrapbook and PayPal problems
Hi Wilhelm, Your order was confirmed by PayPal, although there was an initial 'pending' notification that lasted only a few minutes. So it seems that all went as expected. As regard the @ symbol, this has been noticed by another German user and I am at a loss as to know the reason. All other keyboards behave as expected. There is nothing in the field code to interfer (in fact there is no field code), and no reason can be identified. Using copy and paste seems to be the simple way around this for German users.

If you haven't yet tried it, put this in the message box: go URL http://www.gadgetplugins.com/altplugins/revAltCleanStack.rev; Then palette the stack (click in the very topLeft of the altClean stack window) and you can see for yourself. For those of you wondering, Rev does strip these properties when building a standalone with your stack. But, if you use stacks which aren't in standalones (like data stacks, or plugins), you should always altClean them. best, Chipp ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

HostNameToAddress Function
Hey, I made a networking stack that retrieves information about the computer. The first check it does is hostName(). This returns the name of the machine. Then I take the result of that and run it through hostNameToAddress() to find the IP address. This works fine on my computer, but one one of my friends, the hostNameToAddress() doesn't return anything. The hostName() function still works though. We are both running Mac OSX. Has anyone had experience with this? Is there a different way to find the IP address?

Re: links again
Thanks Mark, Sarah, Judy, and others, very much. I'm afraid I haven't benefited from the sample stacks generously offered, because I haven't been able to find them on RevOnLine, but I'm working on that, and will soon succeed. It sounds like the general idea is pretty straightforward. I didn't realize the linkText property exists, and that I can set it as I like. Pending study of the stacks suggested... How would I set the linkText if I wanted the link to send a message, possibly with parameters or global variables, or execute a script? As I think about it, I suppose that if I give each link a unique linkText, I can simply use if or case statements further up the hierarchy to send messages, execute scripts or whatever. Is that the right approach? Is there another way? -- Well, there's always another way, but is there another standard way? I'm still a little fuzzy on the HTMLtext. I know you can export a formatted field as HTML. Is it also possible to set the HTMLtext of a chunk in a field, so it displays and behaves according to the HTML tags I specify? (I understand RR uses a subset of HTML.)

Chipp, One of the options on AltCleanStack is clear cREVGeometry What is this?

Re: HostNameToAddress Function
I found out some more information. Apparently the nslookup Unix command returns the following: nslookup is deprecated and may be removed from future releases. Consider using the `dig' or `host' programs instead. Run nslookup with the `-sil[ent]' option to prevent this message from appearing.

Re: cRevTable properties
Hi Paul, If you use the Geometry Manager to manage resizing of stacks, then you don't want to delete the cREVGeometry prop set. It is only set if/when you are using Geometry Manager. Sometimes, you may have tried GM and decided not to use it, but the GM prop sets are still there. In those cases it is good to delete the prop set. Richard, Since I never used cREVtable, I didn't check for it. But it is a different prop set and should be deleted. Like GM, cREVtable isn't set unless the Table Object in the field properties settings is checked. So, just created tabstops and hGrid,vGrid does not put it on. Frankly, I wasn't aware on how large those props may have been. All that said, I imagine your client was using it in a fairly unconventional way to see those kinds of file savings. Was cREVtable caching old data? Everyone, Though many of these prop sets contain either redundant or useless data for your deployed application, none of them actually hurt anything. So, leaving them alone is okay, too. ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

RE: cRevTable properties
Just for your information, I just gained 600Ks back from my xos stack - 60%!!! Worse, I found that all my fields had a crevTable prop (which I NEVER used!)... I must have accidentally clicked on the table button once... Since then all the fields have the prop (it seems). However there's side effect that when you select a field, choose Table from the menu of the prop palette, the prop palette will go in a seemingly infinite loop... Which is an indicator that your stack was polutted with the unwanted revtable props... what you need to add to revAltCleanStack's card script is ... on cleanRevTableSets pObj get the customPropertySets of pObj set the wholeMatches to true delete line lineOffset(cREVTable,it) of it set the customPropertySets of pObj to it end cleanRevTableSets You also need to call it within the controls' loops in that same card script...
