I agree that it would be best to produce some sort of enhancement for 
personal annotations that could be used by everyone, Commercial and 
Community users alike.

In an ideal world LiveCode would be everywhere, with a solid majority of 
its users enjoying the free Community Edition - indeed, that may well be 
the case already.

The Commercial Edition offers a proprietary license - that should be 
sufficient enticement for those who need that.

For everything else, at least where a feature poses no logical conflict 
with the GPL (such as script encryption), parity between Community and 
Commercial is a valuable goal.

My only hesitation here is with attempting to modify the existing 
Dictionary stack, esp. given the scope of changes the team is 
implementing for v7 and beyond.

But a separate Notes stack that can instantly open relevant Dictionary 
entries with the IDE's revDocumentationGo command would be easily 
achievable, and an ideal community project since it would require no 
coordination with the RunRev IDE team.
