the mouseText and Unicode: CONCLUSION

[Slava Paperno]

Доброе утро, Бернд! An article from Pravda? I like your sense of humor. The ultimate tolerance test for a LiveCode script.

Thanks for the lock-screen idea. Nice touch.

Yes, I think I will file this with the Quality Control Center--as you say, just a reminder: давай работай! I've already posted my script in the Beginners forum, with your name mentioned (among others).

See you soon, I'm sure. I haven't yet attacked tables or, God help me, DataGrids :)
