I do not really understand Dar Scott's "As a product Revolution does NOT have executionContexts except maybe as a reserved word of some sort. This is not an underdocumented feature of the product. I did not buy executioncontexts."
I bought 2 varieties of Runtime Revolution and the both contain the 'term' executionContexts now this may be what Dar Scott terms an "intramural" part of RR, HOWEVER: it is part of what I have bought, and as such it would seem that documenting it might not be a bad thing - after all if I stumble across it and use it incorrectly all sorts of unintended results may ensue. Dar Scott's argument seems to imply that I may not open my G4 Mac and poke around inside it because some of the components are "intramural" - sure they are - they are all 'inside the walls', but I don't see what that has to do with it - I own the machine; and, similarly, I own my copies of Dreamcard and RRMedia. Needless to say, this discussion leads us, willy-nilly, towards whether, because I own an instantiation of a programming environment I am allowed to muck around with the source-code. It does seem, however, that if Runtime Revolution (the company) did not want folks like me to access stuff like 'executionContexts' they would have built a 'wall' around it so that it was truly intramural. A secondary point is what Dar Scott means by "underdocumented" - executionContexts seems not to be mentioned at all in the documentation. sincerely, Richmond Mathewson ____________________________________________________________ "Philosophical problems are confusions arising owing to the fluidity of meanings users attach to words and phrases."
