Change the bar at the top of the menu  in the app to reflect the current version

And

Fix the random ram clears and the weirdness shown in the video I attached a few posts back.

I don't think you uploaded the right video.

And from now on, I'll update that number ;)

You can build a statue out of either 1'x1' blocks or 12'x12' blocks. The 1'x1' blocks will take a lot longer, but the final product is worth it.

Request: Safe ram clear.
You would have an option to Archive all unarchived:
*Programs
*Variables
*Appvars
*Etc.

After that, it would clear you ram and Unarchive the things that were just archived. [/ridiculous but awesome idea]

^Ditto.
And I'm pretty sure I uploaded a shaky video of an 84+SE going berserk.

Sorry, windows media player didn't show the video for some reason, only sound. I'm not sure what caused that problem, have you been able to replicate it? Also, what Asm program was it?

To me, that looks like CurRow went past 7.

I can probably do that, of course I'd have to make the button that does that a little more obscure. Maybe [Alpha] R.

It's a .mov. Try quicktime. There also is a bug caused when you uninstall it w/o turning off the custom font first. Also, where the hook pointing to?

I got the video to play. But what I meant is that the glitch looks like CurRow went off the bottom of the screen.

What is the bug? Is it that the font isn't disabled? Because I'll fix that right now.

And the hooks all point to different spots in my app. You can look up their addresses and find the exact spot they point to if you really want to know. But it will change from version to version.

I forget what exactly happens, but iirc it involves scrolling up on the homescreen and a ram clear. Either that, or the one with a right-pointing triangle in the top left corner & the cursor top right

So you are uninstalling it (option 1) correct? I'm not sure what would cause that. But I made it disable the font hook when it runs so it shouldn't happen again.

About the font hook; Does it point to the program or does the app copy the font to some blank space inside itself and that's where the hook points? Could you also add the ability to convert the font to a different format, so that it could be used by a different app, say Omnicalc?

Hooks are pieces of code that get called when something happens. So the hook is is pointing to a routine in my app that goes out and finds the font program, then gets the character out of it. The font is never actually copied, I just keep it's name in my appVar.

Converting to Omnicalc shouldn't be hard, it probably just has a different header. My fonts start out "FONT," Omnicalc's might be "OMNI" or something. Converting would just be as simple as changing the header. Although I'm not sure what Omnicalc would do about the new characters added in 2.53...

Edit:
   .db $BB, $6D, $C9, "omnicalc"

Would storing the active font in the app itself speed things up any or fix any bugs?
Would editing of the small font be possible? Of tokens?

Ok, then, what about small font and token editing? And could there be an option to forcibly disable the hooks?
