What does Windows 'shell' expect?

Graham -

I'm not a forumite either. I find this list and the livecode-dev list to be the 
richest sources of high-intensity help around, regarding LC or anything even 
peripherally related. I imagine there must be lots of value in the forum 
material as well, but like you I lost interest in trolling through it.

I agree - some kind of index would be good.

Nowadays not being able to afford the old 'Improve' list, I rely on the Use list, the LC Dictionary and the User's Guide. I started to use the forum a long time ago, but at the time it seemed inactive so I lost interest - personally I prefer mailing lists to forums (fora?). I have never used RevOnline. Clearly my fault, but I wonder if there might be a better way to point LC users at valuable info rather than assuming they will search in lots of places - some kind of index, if you will. But I guess I should have searched harder.
