Re: Control From Outside

Hi Mike, On Windows and Linux, you can start a standalone from the command line with parameteres. The parameters can be found in $0, $1 etc. You can do the same on Mac OS X, but you will have probems with the GUI. On Windows, you can also use the relaunch message to decide how a standalone shou

Thanks Mark. I decided to go the htmltext route so I don't have to worry about platforms. Pete lcSQL Software On Sat, Aug 17, 2013 at 11:38 AM, Mark Schonewille < m.schonewi...@economy-x-talk.com> wrote: > Hi Pete, > > You can treat Linux in the same way as Windows. > >

Thanks Warren, that works. Do you happen to know if all the entities mentioned there are supported within htmltext? Per my other post, they're not all mentioned in the dictionary entry for htmltext Pete lcSQL Software On Sat, Aug 17, 2013 at 11:05 AM, Warren Samples wrot

Re: Mac/WIndows ASCII characters

Looking into this further, it appears the list of namd html entities in the dictionary entry for htmltext is very incomplete. I just tried ↵ and … and they both work fine but are not listed in the dictionary. Does anyone have an up to date list of what LC recognizes in htmltext for ascii chars >

Re: Control From Outside

I thought there was a way to launch a LC app with parameters, i.e. stdin. Maybe I'm thinking of another IDE. Launching the app isn't the problem. It's passing the parameters to it at launch. I could also create a file somewhere for the app to read. On Fri, Aug 16, 2013 at 7:31 PM, Mark Schonew
