Dear Revvies,
There is currently a question over whether Rev's way of handling text
font, size, and style should be changed and whether changing it would
be a problem for backward compatibility.
If you haven't noticed, text style inheritance in Revolution is not
completely intuitive. If you ha

Steve, I see the coding bug got you, too. I used to spend nights

we would try to get it down to the smallest number of lines. Ahh the

Ooops, 222 still gets deleted, so it would be better to explicitly test for
duplicates than rely on the addition test therefore:

One last point, I'm not sure if you wanted to include numbers 111, 222,333,
311 etc as duplicates but if you didn't, a simple test to add the numbers
and check the total would suffice to ensure that only one of each number

Great stuff! Any chance
I couldn't resist testing it and here's what I came up with.
I created a field "myfield" loaded with test numbers and a Go button with
this script:
On MouseUp
put false into found
put "1,2,3" into search$
-- sort field "myList"
repeat with x = the number of lines in field "myList" down
Nope. Even if that worked I believe it behaves like "find empty" which
would reset the start point.
