If only one value needed from a set of the returned values by a function what is the best approach? For example, you need the third return value of a function, you can do like this: a,b,c,d = Manyvalues() Debugprint(c) a,b,d = Nil Not an elegant solution to use three needless variables. I usually j...

If you have to add/install something additional it might be deterrent to the potential user. Thats why I also prefer to link plugins instead of referring to the HOLLYWOOD Mal. I don't like to link plugins on Amiga compatibles, because: There will be useless writes to the HD each time you run the pr...

Since the #SNAPWINDOW argument is optional and have a default value I thought it should not make any difference, and also the third argument worked without the second argumement. When giving these optional arguments, you can't skip any of them in the middle. If you want to give the third argument, ...

Please, please don't do this kind of "busy loops" in your programs. There's absolutely no need to make full CPU load for any kind of program, and especially for this simple that doesn't consume all available processing power to calculations. If you make this kind of loop to check user activity (inst...

Yes, "var = NIL" does nothing (or actually clears the global "var" variable). You must declare all local variables with the "Local" statement, otherwise they become global (with an exception of function parameters which are local too). So, you should do it like this to get a local "var" variable: fu...

MorphOS hasn't reqtools.library

Yes it does, look in the SYS:MorphOS/Libs/, and I also noticed this bug once.. should report to the MorphOS team.

No, SFTP and FTPS are for quite different purposes. The sites/servers I access to transfer files are pretty much 50% FTP(S) and 50% SFTP. Some of the FTP sites also support FTPS, but none of the SFTP servers I happen to use support FTP(S). FTPS is just an extension to FTP protocol, but SFTP is its o...

I'm trying to use SFTP with hURL under MorphOS, but I get an "Unsupported protocol!" error. It seems that this protocol isn't enabled at all when listing the supported protocols with versioninfo. Is there a reason why it isn't enabled or should it be? This code... @REQUIRE "hurl" t=hurl.Versioninfo(...

is it possible to have more than one display with RappaGUI in a window? Yes. I am getting an error that "Error in line 31 (DispTest.hws): Could not find display 2!" I can't see that you'd created the display 2 there in your example code (.hws), that's why you can't select it. By default Hollywood c...

Hmpf... seems that something in my installed system triggers it. I tried to boot from live ISO image and it doesn't happen there, it's not about MorphOS versions. And I noticed one more detail on my installed system, if I have rebooted the machine, then it works with the very first try, but if I ico...
