Re-install Revolution. Set up all preferences the way you want. Quit revolution. Safe the file /components/save/revpreferences.rev to a different folder. It would be safest if you stuff or zip it to make sure that you don't accidentally open it. Whenever Rev gets no further than "loading plugin

There is no installer that I know of for the Mac, at least not for OS X; you just drag & drop the app's folder to wherever you want it. As for associations, there is no work to do. File type information is stored as part of the app bundle, so it "just works" -- double-click a .rev file, and i

Download the demo version and look through the extensive built-in documentation, including the how-to videos (new in vers 2.5). The content is identical to what you get if you order the printed dox--which I found a lot more convenient to use long term. But for now, perusing the built-in dox co

Need I say more in favor of RunRev? Simpler, you build the application visually and program it so or the old centralized way (better for bigger projects). The controls usually control their own events directly. That's more than half the battle! By the time you get to display a field in RealBasic,

A list should be seen as a comma-delimited data container where commas separate data elements. Spaces after commas should not be significant. They aren't in any other language I know of that processes list data structures. a="1",b="2" and a="1", b="2" should be identical. In Rev, they are not.

Re: Inconsistent Behavior of Lists

Dan, It appears to me that you're hitting the difference between strings and lists. The native data type in Rev is a string, and if you want it to be treated specially because it follows some sort of list syntax, you'll need to script that behavior. Otherwise you would have the opposite effect-
