While I appreciate the suggestion, and the suggestions of everyone here,
though the list currently is not extensive, it hopefully will be. I did end
up using a repeat loop. Seems counter-intuitive but hey what am I going to
do?
My project is this:
I am writing a script that will query AppleMods retrieve the names and
descriptions of all the AppleMods and allow users to download the source and
install them on the user's computer. Hence, the list, hopefully, will be
too long to make each button an item (although I do wonder how many buttons
you can have on a dialog. I may check that when I get home).
I'm only using URL Access Scripting so this is getting tricky. What am I to
do when the list does get extensive (where the names of the scripts are
longer than 255?)? Has anyone ever had success with the dialogs that you
can make in Smile? I can't seem to make them work. Of course, I am always
scripting these things in the wee hours and that usually leads to wee
thinking.
Thanks again for the help.
