... you get 'stuff' in HC but in Rev you get 'it'
my point is not to match HC but rather to be able to type things into the
message box, like answer folder, and be able to get at the contents of it
without
having to try and remember to type global it before i make the answer call.
If I understand your comment, you don't have to remember anything.
Use a semi-colon:
get stuff;put it
answer folder "Locate:";put it
Right, which is why I was wondering what the fuss was about. And in Rev,
you can also use the multi-line message box to do it in two lines:
get "stuff"
put it
So it works either way. HyperCard did a special-case thing with the "it"
variable in the message box, because there were zero options for typing
in multi-line scripts (though you could paste one in, but that was never
documented.) But Rev offers two ways to do multi-line scripts, which
means that "it" isn't an issue any more.
