It would be rather good if there were bits of code as presently advertised in the 4.6.2 upgrade to Supercard present in RR so that (for instance) one could deploy a stack that would play different standards of videoClip depending on information retrieved at startUp about the end-user's computer.I went and took a look in RR's documentation and found 'machine' and read the following: "Returns the type of hardware the application is running on" so knocked up a stack with a Button and a Field, the Button contained the following script: on mouseUp put the machine into fld "fGUFF" end mouseUp ("fGUFF" being the name of my field) and what happened was that "unknown" was put into fld "fGUFF", when my computer type is far from unknown (even if Klaus Major has to remind me that I know already). And, "unknown" is not helpful at all. sincerely, Richmond Mathewson
I think this function has been broken for quite a while, since Rev 2.2 or even earlier, but it is probably low priority to fix. Of course, it would be nice that it works as advertised since it is part of the original language.
