Text formatting for a slider

[Jim Hurley]

Stephen,

What has me puzzled, maybe you have the answer, is a function to return ALL the properties of a given object.

As many have said, the "properties" function is incomplete. For one thing it omits the foregroundcolor of the scrollbar. (I wonder whether those properties in the inspector palette for which there is an opening but no property are those among those missing from "put the properties of ...")

So I wonder where Rinaldi and Richard Gaskin got their lists from? This would be the first task in reconstruction Rinaldi's plug-in.
