I've not posted anything for a while as I've been busy on this MPI Help and Information
Still a long way to go, but I've covered the main palette and some other bits and pieces. There are a few small quicktime movies of MPI in action too.

Arrow Keys in MPI
Stéphane set me right on Arrow Keys:
Arrow keys nudge selected objects of one pixel with shift key up, 5 pixels with shift key down.
Same thing with option key will nudge the corresponding side of the object, i.e. option-shift-down arrow will move the bottom of the object 5 pixels down (and thus increase its height)

This works if :
- the message box is closed.
- the customPointerdown feature is enabled in the module.
- no field is open for editing in a palette if the textarrows is true (in this case the arrow keys are used for editing the field).

Out today, a few bugs squashed, but the documention is still unfortunatly the same as shipped with Beta 1. The time out lasts until the end of May 2005 now.
I really need bug reports on Rommy, free license codes to verifiable ones.
Rommy Robot 3, more information and download

After a big bunch of comment spam advertising stuff that has nothing to do with SuperCard I've turned the comments off on this blog. As I don't get many comments here it is no big deal, but turning them off on my class blog, which was similarly hit at the same time will be very disappointing.

Found a nice simple oneliner that will return dictionary entries from dict.org
function dict pword
return shell(merge("curl dict://dict.org/d:[[pword]]"),1,raw)
end dict (more)

ModuloPi
New in this release : the Resource module and an enhanced contextual popup menu.
The contextual popup is a delight, you can directly edit properties and styles of projects, windows, backgrounds, cards and the object under the cursor, access script and userProps. Almost a complete editor in a popUp.
The resource module extends MPI style contextual editing from a palette to resources, with a nice dragAndDrop interface.
