The uRIP ["Help"] property is used for this. However is it not more useful for the help text to be actually in the script of the library? The question is when...

Richard- ... I think you're missing something here. The uRIP["Help"] custom prop can use a getProp handler whether or not the library is open source and...
... I see. If someone wants to add a library to their library to obtain the uRIP["Help"] info from a script I see no harm in that. Just explaining why it's a...
... I agree that the less "code" the better - so point taken about a library in a library - though it was a little harsh on my scripting style :) I suggest...
David- I demonstrated something very similar to this approach for folks at MacWorld Expo last month, and I've got a writeup on this almost ready to send off to...
... The only thing to keep in mind is that when a library stack (or any stack for that matter) is password protected, you can't "get" at the scripts in the...
Ken- ... Well, that's damned annoying, isn't it? I mean, that *is* the point of password-protecting the stack and all, but... I can get and display the scripts...
That's why both options are needed. For password protected stack you can use the uRip property, or the getprop handler which refers to this property. I would...
... You should try, Trevor. I got very found of this approach myself after hearing David hint me on the way getprop and setprop could be used this way and...
Marielle- ... Not strictly true at all. I have an xml-tree component where I pass it data by "set the DisplayXMLData of field xyz to myData", where myData is...

Trevor- ... Yes, exactly the point. The reason we're having this discussion here (well, the reason "*I'm* having it here) is to promote the interoperability of...
Hello Mark Wieder, Marielle, and y'all ... Marielle does indeed express herself coherently, clearly, and persuasively. Her above sentence is well-formed, but,...
... I like the approach of common handlers shared among libs and using custom props to decide if the lib should act on object. That way I could do this: ...
Trevor- Yes, I realize that was kind of cheating... but yes, if you can package the data correctly then you can get around the single parameter hurdle. -- ...

Trevor- ... ROTFL - I wonder if Dar's coming... anyway, I understand a reticence to change engine behavior - it's not something that should be undertaken...
