Hi Kay,

Thanks for pointing this out - Brahmanathaswami has been trying to tell me the 
same thing, but I didn't understand until this morning.

However, through the magic of scripting language similarity, it's all good. 
The language is similar enough that simply installing it and applying it to 
one of my script files worked well enough that I was motivated to fix the most 
egregious non-working bits.  Whereas if I'd not found anything when I googled, 
I'd have probably given up and gone without.

I've shamefacedly retracted my pull request to the original maintainer. 
Brahmanathaswami is correcting the language references.  Now it is/will be a 
LiveCode CLM, whose Git history will correctly record it as being adapted from 
a LiveScript CLM.  Hurrah for modern collaboration tools.

Thanks for helping break through my shell of ignorance,

Ben
