I for example created a script which does some tasks with the created standalones after their creation. It took some time to get the script working the way i want it to. Before that script i had to do these tasks manually for each created standalone. Sometimes 3 times, because have to projects i create for Win/Mac/Linux and that several times a month. So even if it takes not much time after standalone creation, it takes very much time in a month or a year. So the time it took to create the script was much less than i have to spent to manually do the tasks in future. > I got stuck trying to FTPs a file to my server.

I am sure we get it working quickly. ;) Matthias > -- > Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com > HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com > On March 23, 2021 7:08:59 PM scott--- via use-livecode > <use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > >> I finished reading Andre’s book last night.
