[noob again]objects and properties and messages

[Dan Shafer]

Mikey.........

There is not a single-document reference that lists all the objects and 
the properties they have and the messages they can receive. I think 
that's a serious need, however.

When I published my first HyperTalk book, many of my readers told me 
the appendix I had that did just this was the most valuable part of the 
book a good deal of the time. WHen I started my Rev book project, I 
intended to create such a reference for Transcript/Rev but when I 
discovered that hugely greater number of objects -- and the 
significantly greater number of properties and messages for each -- I 
decided it was a book all by itself and one for which there would 
probably not be enough of a market to warrant the huge time it would 
require.

Am I wrong? Is there a market?
