How long should a person wait before asking for help? There is a lot of available helps out there, but they remind me of the cryptic IBM manuals, i.e., they are great for operators who already know how to run the IBM machines, but anyone who is unfamiliar with the device will not gain anything usefu...

Ok, thanks for the heads-up. I'll give it a whirl and report back if I get stumped (which I don't expect.)

Richard,

I'm not up on Ubuntu One and Dropbox. You make it sound like I can setup UO/DB data folders as if they were on my local machine. Is this true?

Hi Richard,

I guess it's "manual," eh?

Anyway, I signed up for the extra 500MBs. Thanks.

Is there a way to synch *.livecode files (programming projects) between a desktop and laptop or do I have to do this manually?

Thanks.

Thank you all for commenting. I appreciate the help!

Oh, and to answer your licensing question - as far as I know the commercial license allows you to have multiple copies around, on whatever platforms you want, so long as only 1 instance is in use simultaneously per license. And of course, as long as you aren't working with protected stacks the comm...

Many moons ago (Assembler, PL1, COBOL, CICS, C, C++, etc.) it was common practice and sheer survival to make verbose and frequent use of comments in the code. Given the way LiveCode writes/reads in the Scripts, is commenting still necessary? I realize this is somewhat subjective, but I am only invol...

Thanks, but you just lost me. How would I use that thingamajig?

My PC keeps me cloistered away from the outside world. In an effort to reducing my hours as a hermit, I was wondering if there was an IDE for the iPad that would allow me to take my LiveCode apps-in-progress when I get time off for good behavior? If there is none for the iPad, is there another mobil...

How can I change the font size in the "Errors" tab window at the bottom of the Script Editor?

The present size is too small to read comfortably. Thank you.

No, codeTrucker, you did. See the recent posts by both of us. How is that "=" sign working for you?

AFAICT it's history. Sounds weird.

It appears I had deleted the "on opencard" and "end opencard."

Now this works... Thanks for the help.

Hey Guys!

This just popped up on my screen...

Did you do that?

I can see I am going to have to unwrap all the BASIC, COBOL, CICS, Visual Basic and some C++ from around my brain, especially when it comes to formulas. LiveCode is definitely new territory! The good news is what I have learned I like. It's just gonna take a while to get it all down. It will come. :...
