Re: Where are the objects of a stack after 'start using'?

Bonsoir Richard and Graham, If Richard has not been so timely with his reply :-) I fully agree but I did not want to not make things too complicated. Actually, the architecture I often use has three parts: . A component, all calls of which refer mainly to one or more libraries (of course, the

Bonjour Graham, A library is a collection of handlers put in a stack's script only. The purpose of a library is to make some particular code routines available (text, menu, etc.). Usually, a library is a 'blank' stack with a single card and no control. Just the script of the stack is used an

Thanks Richard for your reply. As you can see, I am stumbling a bit over this, feeling my way. I would like to cut down on the experiments which is why I'm asking questions on this list. Thanks very much for the reference to your article. I think I do understand the Rev message path, and I

This is a bit of a newbie question, even though I've been using RunRev for a very long time. Embarrassing, but there you are. I am trying to construct a library by writing stacks and inserting their scripts into the message path with 'start using'. So far, so good. Then I wanted to set a cu
