Thanks Paul, I like your thinking. Unfortunately that isn't going to work
in this case. My Internal HD is overflowing and the last thing I need to do
is copy a couple of dozen large (6 GB) folders across. I'm scripting (for
self use) a little utility to search a couple of my backup HDs to see if

(Going back to HyperCard?) the concepts used to be containers and sources of

I always thought that containers were a subset of sources of value, defined as
the items where you could set the value as well as get it;
Hi All.
I have a font menu built with a pull-down type button that works fine, but
the number of system fonts makes finding one a chore for the user. I have
three refinements in mind, but I'm not sure if they are possible.
1) Is it possible to get a fonts list from the system (or parse one)

AFAIK, you can only grab a list of available fonts.
Regarding jumping to the first typed letter and automatic scrolling, I believe

I'm really liking this feature. I just used it in a series of nested
repeat statements that traverse their way through an array with 5 levels of
keys by writing a function for each level of key. Makes the code so much
more readable.

1. Livecode messaging is fully asynchronous. Not semi-async.
Right, when I said semi-async I was referring to the single threadedness of
livecode (which node shares) along with all the baked into livecode stuff

IIRC the Cocoa migration began early in the 6.x series.
If you can figure out the API Apple's using there that would be cool.

Hi Peter.
I know quite a few of us are anxious to see a break in the log jam regarding

issues would clear up when the LC8 multimedia player widget rolls out. It
