| Welcome! |
 | I'm building this page on my NT machine. |
| It's being rendered to another NT machine on the LAN. (This is a side-effect.) |
| Then I have a finalFilter script that communicates via TCP with www.scripting.com using the HTTP-Put protocol. |
| It's part of the Gimme5 site (even though it doesn't look like it). |
| Next little project: bring the Gimme5 template over here to Windows. |
| It was a hellish day, lots of braincell burners, but it's happening. |
| The rest of this page contains some of the notes I made during the day. |

| Frontier problems |
| Save Database command in the file menu |
| It prompts me for a file to save to? |
| How do I save all the objects I've changed? |
| I want the same functionality as on the Mac. |
| No longer a deal-stopper, I found that if I never go into Beginner's Mode, there never is a problem. |
| I was going into Beginner's Mode for a wacky reason I won't go into here. |
| suites.backups.backuproot calls file.getpatchchar |
| it means to call file.getPathChar |
| clearly no one is running this script. |
| it must work -- I don't want to be Exiting and restarting Frontier all the time to just get a backup. |
| sys.os returns "Win95" on my Windows NT machine |
| As a result, the small type at the bottom of this page is incorrect. |
| The page was rendered on Windows NT. |
| Accomodations |
| I'd like some feedback on a successful save of the database. |
| On the Mac the windows would gray and then refresh. |
| I'd be happy to have the same performance on the PC. |
| The display of the Zoom button on table windows is cheesy |
| Smaller font, no black outline around the icon. |
| It's just as ugly in the Quick Script window. |
| When I Release Rendered Page the web browser window comes to the front. |
| I'd rather it come in one-behind the Frontier layer. |
| I liked the way it worked on the Mac. |
| I could arrange the screen so I can see both the content and the browser window at the same time. |
| Questions |
| On the Mac, I hold down the option key while selecting a menu item to open the menu editor with the command selected. |
| What key do I hold down on Windows? |
| Why is string.memAvailString () returning such a large number? |
| 264040K |
| Root change notes |
| user.html.macros.platformLink (new) |
| Goes in the shipping root, it's called from the default template. |
| Deleted user.websites.["#ftpsite"].default |
| Observations |
| My fingers know the outline processing keystrokes on the PC because they remember how to use ThinkTank and Ready! |
| I like this... |
| I wish my fingers knew the keys for cut-copy-paste. |
| New neural pathways. |
