if you're referring to a record, eg,
{this: "harumph", that: 1245.3, file: alias "disk:folder:file",
other: <<data
ktxt596F75204D757374204265205265616C6C7920426F72656421>>}
You may find help in my CoerceToString handler. It handles most value
types
except for script objects and handlers. Although I've written a FaceSpan
application which can handle those types as well.
Jon's Commands can handle scripts and handlers also.
CoerceToString has plenty of docs which also are quite effective against
insomnia. Best not to operate heavy machinery once they've been opened.
You'll find the script and docs on page 1 of my site:
