Yes, about as many times as the answer ;-) Open the Rev Dictionary, cntrl+click (right click or whatever on a Win) on either of the column headings and you'll be given a pop-up list of the available columns. Tick 'Version'. Now, like with most tables, you can click on the column heading and have the table sorted by that column. Click again, and go from ascending to descending (or visa versa). So, not only can you simply look up a keyword,function,message,property in the dictionary and immediately have the version number available, but you can sort them all and see which have been introduced at each release. Unfortunately, as tables aren't exactly Rev's strong point, there are problems with sorting in earlier versions of the Dictionary. If memory serves me correctly, this applied to the Platform column, this use to be Icons rather than Text, so it wouldn't sort correctly. I've not noticed any sorting problems with the latest 3.0 Dictionary - but I haven't tested every column either.

Re: Visible and extra monitors.
Dude is surfer talk. The only negative connotation where I come from is all put on the speaker (meaning if you call someone Dude then you are from that class of skater boy/surfer/stoner people who call people Dude). ___ 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: Visible and extra monitors.
I have never heard of Dude as a negative connotation!!! Richmond, where do you come from that it is? Tom McGrath III On Oct 5, 2008, at 5:01 PM, Richmond Mathewson wrote: 2 points here: 1.

I come from the North-East of Scotland. Frankly 'Dude' sounds like 'Dud'. However, the point about SCREENRECTS was more important. sincerely, Richmond Mathewson.

Perhaps you haven't seen the movie the Big Lebowski. It explains all about the 'Dude'. : I come from the North-East of Scotland. Frankly 'Dude' sounds like 'Dud'.

Re: Visible and extra monitors.
Agreed, I was just curious. Thanks for answering.

Visible and extra monitors.
Just uploaded to revOnline my implementation of the recent discussion about whether a stack is visible to the person sitting in front of the VDU: Visibubble under 'Richmond' and it works . . . except that I have 2 monitors attached to my Mac G4 Windtunnel; and when I can see a stack on the the second monitor my program tells me it is not visible. Bright ideas welcomed. sincerely, Richmond Mathewson.
