Richard explained it pretty well. I think of the command form as a temporary override. The bug here seems to be that the command fails on Linux. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com On May 20, 2016

Interesting! The example in the Dictionary Entry for 'palette' is: palette stack "Tools" so there is no reason why Richmond's original code should not work. Here on OSX 10.9.5 LC 8.0.1 rc 1 if I open a 'topLevel' stack and in the message box: palette stack "guineapig" the stack is palettised.

So, I have this command in the stackScript of a stack: on openStack palette stack "newTools" end openStack and the stack is not becoming a palette. I'm obviously missing something. Richmond. ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.
