Okay, so to follow through with this, I first took a screen shot of a bullet character, opened it in Preview, erased the white space (making it transparent) and saving it as bullet.png.
Next I imported the bullet as an image, and set the source of the imported image to the file “bullet.png” (so I could edit it and see the changes in Livecode without reimporting). Then I put several lines into a scrolling field where each line starts with a space and a tab. I set the first tabstop to enough pixels to fit the bullet mark. I had to play around a bit but I got it close. Finally I have this in the script of the scrolling field: on mouseUp put the hilitedLine of me into theHilitedLine set the itemDelimiter to tab put the vscroll of me into theVScroll if the imageSource of char 1 of line theHilitedLine of me is "bullet.png" then set the imageSource of char 1 of line theHilitedLine of me to empty else set the imageSource of char 1 of line theHilitedLine of me to "bullet.png" end if set the itemDelimiter to comma set the vScroll of me to theVScroll end mouseUp Presto! Voila! Good looking bulleted list that will look the same in Windows and Mac, or any OS!
