Richmond,

It's all in the limit you set on 
your view or experience of things...

This could be true but consider that 
RR was built on top of MetaCard.

In RunRev, your stacks have both 
the restriction of the RunRev platform 
and its language and [exo] operating time/scope. 
Though it's certainly a great and awesome show 
in product design, quality and engineering! 

Now, maybe all MC settings may be 'easily' available
in RR, but changing them could "disrupt" RR's smooth
operation. Im sure RR authors thought of that though! ;) 

(absolutely untested by yours truly but for extreme
programming fans, this should be fun to script'n'test!)

In MC, you dont have this. You dont have all the property 
buttons available either in any of the palettes but they 
are available in the help stack (but you have to find, 
retype and examplify it yourself)...

The index window in the help menu is where to start...

You havent seen "Control Browser X" have you?

It's ALL the properties, customprops, content and script of any
stack object editable in one stack. 

Cheers to MetaCard's ultimate powers of conception!

Great for caravan passing or people with high beams/fog lights on...
