Are you working on a help page? A help page is definately needed. I
think the majority of Mac users would have a great deal of difficulty
using LDGLite.

LdGLite Launcher is my contribution for a help page for Mac OS X.  It just
so happens that my work required me to write a very similar application so
it was really easy for me to throw this together.  The app is AppleScript
Studio (AppleScript built into an app with Project Builder, Interface
Builder, and Cocoa that is hidden from the lowly AppleScript programmer).

I could actually improve it quite a bit.  However, I am trying to learn
Cocoa while I ride the bus to work so that I can try to contribute to Ken
Dyke's LCX app (really cool Cocoa LDraw editor that works but isn't
finished).  And the little spare time at home I am trying to finish Oni...
hehehe.

But anyway, I haven't really thought about writing anything.  I have a
friend who wants me to teach him how to make webpages.  Maybe I will have
him write a help page...

I am not asking to prod you into action, I am just
curious. I have considered working on one, but I wouldn't be able to
start for a few months. I have to get some stuff in order (this is
actually my first trip to and post on LUGNET in a while). If you start,
I'd be happy to help, but I could promise anything until October at the
earliest. If no one else does it, I'll probably put something together
on my own. Since I can't program, and I want to be helpful, I figure
that a help page might be something I could do. Though, I still have a
few things to figure out, like once I hit the / to activate the menu,
and select a menu, I don't know haw to back out of the menu. I have to
choose to do something (this could be a limitation of my PowerBook
keyboard.)

I think if you hit the Esc key, it will back you out.  That is how DOS
worked.  I never use my Esc except for Window platform ports like Oni and
LdGLite.  Funny.  Windows people use it all the time...

(...) James, I discovered that very quickly. If you don't click the title bar, the keystrokes get dumped to the terminal window, and they don't do any good there. Are you working on a help page? A help page is definately needed. I think the majority (...) (22 years ago, 6-Jun-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)
