Rob,

quoting Richards reply:
"you can use the "insert script" command to put a script of any object  
into the message path for use by any other object, and you can use  
"start using" to make something roughly equivalent to TB's sysbooks.

For notes on these and more see:
<http://www.fourthworld.com/embassy/articles/ 
revolution_message_path.html>"

start using will add a script of a stack to the message path, but not  
the script of a button. You can add the script of a button as a  
backscript or a frontscript but I don't think that's what you're  
looking for.

Ron, I don't know the behaviour you want to achive. If you want just to  
share scripts between controls, check revolution "groups", if you want  
to make a script as library, put it inside a stack and use "start using  
stack "myStack"" to use the stack as lib. But if this script is  
pre-coded, why not putting it inside the field content anyway? For  
example, I have here some small reusable scripts that I use all the  
time but they are too small to deserve a library, so I created a little  
palette that will check the selected object in Rev IDE and insert that  
script on the object. I can go adding scripts to this pallete... this  
servers me fine for it does not alter the message path in anyway...

if you want to change the script of a button at runtime (or at  
interactive time), then I think you can set the script property of the  
button, but we need help from the experts on this topic, I don't know  
what happens if you use:

set the script of fld "content" to the script of btn "wijzigen"

but it might work, give it a try!

:D
