Very newbie question

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Kevin,

Welcome to the Revolution. If you type

   put the propertyNames

in the message box and press enter, you get a list that is way too  
long to handle. You can also open the on-line docs (menu Help/ 
Documentation), click on the Dictionary button and type "property" in  
the search field. This will let you browse all available properties.  
Enjoy.

Here's a script to get a list of most of the available properties of  
a stack:

   put the properties of this stack into myArray
   put the keys of myArray

You can do the same for objects.

For an introduction to Transcript, click on User Guid in the same  
docs. Have a look at chapter 5 of the PDF file that you can access  
from there. You can find the same file here: <http:// 
downloads.runrev.com/userguide/userguide.pdf>.

Best,

Mark
