I really appreciate the fact that you can write add 1 to Score instead of Score = Score + 1 It's much more intuitive for my students. They even get away with: put one into Score add one to Score and the result is 2 With regard to my previous post, students think that if they can say hide field "xxx" then they ought to be able to say if field "xxx" is hidden ... or if field "xxx" is invisible ... or if field "xxx" is not visible... but having to create a construct like if the visible of field "xxx" is false ... really baffles them. In this way I think Transcript could indeed be more English-like. Oh well, RR isn't intended for raw beginners.....is it? :-) - marty -- Marty Billingsley ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) The University of Chicago Laboratory Schools _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
