Ben, it doesn't get better than this product and this group. Fix
yourself a beer, and hang out here awhile, learn a few things and
you'll be creating great apps in no time...
Firing in the dark? No, I don't think so, nobody can know
everything.. we use Rev because we can accomplish what we need faster
and cooler..but even for me, a veteran Hypercard geek, the learning
curve was a bit rocky in the beginning. But I started small, Hello
World, and worked from there. Once I got past some of the new rules,
it was intuitive, just like Hypercard was, just 100x more powerful.
Ben if you want to real create software, you have to think out of
your box a little bit. Your loathing of 'scripting' and desire to
only use an icon based tool is keeping you from the creativity and
ingenuity that springs from such an impressive toolbox as Runrev. My
personal experience with iconic languages was that there were only so
many icons one could fit in a window, and often they started to blur
out and not make sense at all...function calls with names of what
they do sure made more sense to me...an ideal that only Forth gave me
before hypercard...
There may not be a 'clock' object in the toolbox, but one can be
fashioned fairly easily from the tools given, and many people on this
list would contribute to the creation of your idea - and you'd have a
'custom' clock - your own presentation, rather than a cookie cutter
idea of what you might have wanted. Then you'd have an object that
you could use for any project in the future. -- I think Mr. X early
on offered you a stack with a clock object he created...
I think the only real downside is you might have a little problem in
scripting some things (like Internet calls) with that capitalization
thing you do....
:)
(just a joke)

sure you can look on these LISTS for answers....and that is VERY
GOOD...but how far do you want to go..with FIRING in THE DARK for
answers?
