Idle handlers and Text files

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Len,

That's really too much honour for me, but I'm always glad to help.

There is a nice stack by Richard, explaining the message hierarchy.  
You can find it here: <http://support.runrev.com/scriptingconferences/>

The message hierarchy is extensively documented in the HyperCard  
literature. I don't know of any good reference directly connected  
with Revolution, except fo page 103 of the user manual PDF included  
with Revolution 2.7.1 and later.

Best regards,

Mark Schonewille
