just say "LGBT community". Easier.

Thanks, but I still need to know the possessive pronoun . . . 'shis' ?

  OOPS!
*In your openStack script:*
put "10" into tSaveInterval -- assuming minutes
send saveMeCheeses to this stack in (tSaveInterval*60) secs

*In your stack script:*
on saveMeCheeses
    -- gather all your text into a variable
    put tMyText into URL (file:C:/someplace/really/**safe/MyFile.txt")
    send saveMeCheeses to me in (tSaveInterval*60) secs -- this one will
keep
it repeating
end saveMeCheeses

  Merry LibreOffice allows one to set it so that it autosaves a document

crashes.

And a jolly good idea that is too (even if they pinched it from
Microsoft).

Now I would like to have the same sort of feature in my "next thang";
the
up-and-coming-and-sweeping-****all-office-suits-before-it
'Richmond-Scrubby-Cupboard'
(well, round these parts that's what passes for an office) made,
needless to say, entirely in Livecode.

Obviously, central to my text entry component "Wobbly Word",
there will have to be a field, and any autosave feature will have to
save
and/or export
and/or overwrite a rtf and/or html document at regular intervals.

Now what I don't understand is how to have a script working away 'in the
background'
checking the time and autosaving every 2-3 minutes without it
interfering
with
user-initiated scripts in the foreground or the reverse.

Richmond.
