At work my lappie is hooked up to two monitors, which is really great.
Unfortunately, if I move a stack to the second monitor and take the
lappie on the road, the stacks open off the visible area. No problem!
I have a virtual desktop utility. Well, no problem until tonight,

Can you provide a little more detail here? Still a noob, so, what

missing right now are ss (search scripts), c (edit the properties of a
card, with shift to edit the script of a card), and s (edit the
properties of a stack, with sh

I was able to bring most of them over intact. Copy them out of HC and
put them in the script of a Rev stack, and start using the stack

You gave me a real blast from the past with this one, Mikey. I was an
early enthusiast of Omnis, back when it was Omnis-3. (Last I checked
they were up to 7 and it looks like that's where things still are about
a year later.)
It was a wonderful development tool as long as you didn't want to do

Your first clue is "flash card" therefore it is good to use cards..
cards are in stacks even if you only have one card in a stack.
substacks are for 'other' windows or palettes etc or for
preferences/splash screeen etc. BUT you could just as easily use
another stack for these and just have

if the scroll of fld 2 is not w then...
that's the safe way or you'll cause another scrollbardrag back and forth

I'm sure this is blindingly obvious, but not to me.
If I have a scrolling field (say "F1") with n lines in it, and next to
it on the same card I have a scrolling field of identical size also
containing n lines, where each line contains information which relates
to the same line in the other fiel

Think of any window in RunRev as another stack first.
Any of those stacks can have one or more cards. Like a stack of cards, it's

Mr. X, although I'm fascinated by your research and coding I find
your naming of your framework XOS somewhat misleading and strange,

I know how naming things go. I've called a project something else for

I guess I don't understand the code, or something.
If the item I am searching for is the very first item, then the
itemOffset() returns 1, so the div produces 0 which goes into
tLineNumber. Therefore the if test is false, so I don't add the 1 -
leaving me with a value of 0.
I'd interpret that

The first cr makes sure the line you're looking for starts with 'C'
