Investigate “sockets” in the dictionary.

I emailed you master and slave, since we can’t attach to the list.

It’s by no means an example of how to do it; it’s my partway-done experiment from when I wanted a helper application to allow non-blocking database actions.  Switching from mySQL to postgreSQL solved my problem far more cleanly (I don’t know if it’s still the case, but LiveCode could only send a single mySQL transaction at the time, and startup took several hundred sequential commands . . .).  I may use it again someday, but not for now.

Anyway, it really doesn’t do much more than take something from the input window in one application, encrypt it, and send it across a socket to the other.

I *want* to say that master launches slave when it starts up, but it’s been a few years.
