I updated the sample library shell, lib4wSHELL.rev, to be conformant with the latest RIP spec. It's now at v1.0.2. While I was at it I found a minor bug in...
I have three handlers relating to preferences that I use in every app, and if the folks here would also find them useful I can donate them to stdLib.rev: ...
Richard- Sounds good to me, too, with one caveat: are you taking care of prefs that are intended for all users vs prefs stored individually? Seems like this...

Richard- ... I don't really have an opinion about whether or not this should go into the stdLib - I think it's a clever hack and I'd like to have it stashed...
Hi, all. Looking at this thread together with the prior thread, it seems developers ought to choose what they want from the library, and register for updates....
