How to get all message names

[Mike Bonner]

This may be a roundabout method but.. If you go here
http://bjoernke.com/index.irev?target=bvgdocu  and download bvgdocu 2.0 it
generates an sqlite database of the dictionary where the "type" column
contains the type of entry. Message, etc.  It might be possible to use the
sqlite db directly, and if not dig around and see exactly how the info was
generated.

After poking around in the code it appears that the .index files located in
 (C:\Program Files (x86)\RunRev\LiveCode 5.0.2\Documentation) are encoded
arrays. So some method similar to what bvg did should work to extract the
info you are looking for directly from the files. Maybe?  Haven't done it
so my level of clue on this stuff is still pretty low.
