Hello John
Yes this is possible, I do this all the time !
The way I use it:
Create a stack with a field, put the whole python script (can have multiple
lines) into the field.
Replace place holders (replace %NAME% with Peter etc.) in the field, and then
put field into a
variable and execute it

Hi jbv,
Data processing doesn't slow down because of screen redraws. If a repeat
loop like yours needs a lot of CPU time, it will take this and less time
will be left for screen updates.
The lock screen and unlock screen commands themselves also take some
time. There's a good chance that a

It does work now. I shall perhaps reconsider my old school
approach of several coding details like that one...
In the old days, locking the screen did speed up scripts that

Thanks Peter,
your script works, but is in the same speed region as my original script, with
the added disadvantage that it can't go beyond 9 chars.
As for the duplicate elements : I did the same before - make all the possible
permutations and then delete the duplicate ones.

When you say send is blocking, in what way? Is this really any different that

I think blocking was just a poor choice of wording. Here is my take on how it
works:
Think in terms of the message queue being a stack. A stack of things to do

executed in sequence as the top entry is popped off.

revXMLDeleteNode requires the XML Library which does not seem to be

so while the dictionary does say it is supported by the server, this does

Actually when I say LC server it's actually my account at on-rev.
Obviously the XML library is included since other commands like
