Missing Functionality

Hi Jacque. 

For the revmail issue, I put a simple revmail one line handler in a button script in a new stack and compiled it as a standalone. In the IDE it launches the Apple Mail program and fills in the fields with whatever was in the arguments. In the standalone it does nothing. It fails silently. 

In the time calculator, another simple app, the only Livecode command I call is the convert command. That also fails silently. 

I would have to do some logging to narrow it down. I just wanted to know if anyone has seen this before, and if there is some workaround.

Have you put answer statements in to see how far the handler gets before failing? You can also log to the Console if you don't want to use answer.

I have had a similar experience with compiling a much larger project, where the revMail function does not work in a standalone, but does in the IDE. Any ideas?

I do not have the funds to upgrade at this time so that explains why I am using 6.7.6 right now, plus each time I attempt to use a version 7 that I can still download, I have serious problems with my projects, and end up reverting for safety's sake.
