my problem is explaining how it works. It's natural for me, just copy-paste.
I know the names (which are quite obvious) and the rest is just mixing verbs
and objects. 

The stacksinuse/frontscript routes the extra calls and features to the other
masters or managers (text, networking, math, list, table functions, etc...).

As soon as you add a new table improvement in a function all stacks in the
environment benefit from it immediately. 

Where I agree is that Rev is kind of discovering the subject. Where I
certainly dont agree is that people selectively forget previous or current
or concurrent efforts in the matter. Sorry if it's not true but from my
standpoint and since the times I've known you Richard... You've must of read
about the XOS or TAOO project by now...

Where Rev may seek simplicity and easy programming, a step ahead of MetaCard
and ahead of Hypercard, both missed the benefits of the simplicity of it in
a major way IMOHO. The simplicity of learning by doing where stacks made the
"example". No home to speak of for example - MC's isn't really presentable
or usefull if you know what i mean... You're not guided at all... Although
RunRev remedies to this for beginner or advanced scripters with their "let's
admit" good documentation (flame me for it, i hate as much as you do but
it's a good effort nonetheless). 

Im already working on a language level empowering those groups or templates
you mention. Like many non-scripters, i'd rather do without rescripting each
time...

Im an engineer + economist + designer + programmer + scientist
Then a fun guY who likes to share his hobby... 

cheers
