I wonder about 2 things:
1. Can one do this sort of thing (pseudocode ?):
Code: Select all
put the script of button "Bomb" into field "Cheese"
2. IF #1 is possible will it retain the colourisation from the script editor?
IF #2 is NOT possible how can I apply script colourisation to script bits in a standard text field?

Hi Richmond,
this affords 2 steps!
Code: Select all
...
put the script of button "Bomb" into field "Cheese"
_internal script colorize char 1 to (the number of chars of field "Cheese") of field "Cheese"
...
That should do the trick.

That is beyond marvellous!
Where does one find out about internal scripts?

These are undocumented features, so the answer is "nowhere".

Well, you have either got a hotline to God, or you spend all your time digging through the IDE.

I've just a memory like an elephant.
Have read this on the mailinglist some years ago, but could remember
that I already answered this question here a couple of months ago.

There are threads about undocumented native words. Do a search for "messagemessages"

Richmond.
Exactly, which is why I wondered why a list of undocumented native words was so mysteriously unavailable. I bet such a list likely contains gold. The "messageMessages" has come in wildly useful now and then.
