count on it not disappearing or changing enough to cause damage. By removing the offending paragraph in the executionContexts dictionary entry, RunRev would effectively be making a commitment to including descriptions of any changes to the value in the engine revision report for new versions

like to know. Or am I missing something? Can you handle the traceError message instead (put this into a frontscript)? on traceError pHandlerName, pLineNumber, pCharOffset, pErrorInfo, pObjectID, pErrorType answer got traceError put executionContexts= the executionContexts cr after msg

Someone please educate me... My current understanding of the debugContext is this: it provides access to any context listed in the executionContexts and to no other contexts. To access a context other than the current one, you set the debugContext to the number of the line

Phil- I'm out of town at the moment without access to my notes or code, but I believe you're correct about this. To my recollection the traceError and errorDialog messages are mutually exclusive (one happening when debug mode is on and the other when it's off) and the errorDialog message doesn't

I do not really understand Dar Scott's As a product Revolution does NOT have executionContexts except maybe as a reserved word of some sort. This is not an underdocumented feature of the product. I did not buy executioncontexts. I bought 2 varieties of Runtime Revolution and the both contain

The point here is surely a practical one. RR have built executionContexts into the language for their own purposes, having written the IDE in transcript/revolution (eating their own haggis, as they put it), and presumably they needed it for some aspect of writing an IDE. Assuming

Richmond, by poking around the IDE source you'll find lots of little gems, specially functions and code that can teach you how to do many things but having access to the inner bowels of the RunRev IDE does not means that this is something you can rely on. The executionContexts is one

Mark Weider . . . Just tried to find executionContexts in the documentation for DC 2.6.1 and RRMedia 2.7.2 and found nothing. then made a quick stack to see executionContexts in action, and there they were Ho Hum I wonder why there seems to be some resistance to documenting these things
