[quote="Verdagon"]So do we just type in the name of the counter inside the "test persistent variable" field?[/quote]

No, forget about the counters. Use Persistent Variables.!
Counters will no longer exist. Exclamation


There is "Modify Persistent Variable" which contains a SET option to give it an inital value. It also has ADD and SUBTRACT.

There is also a "Set Persistent Variable Text". I have no idea why its there, or what it could be used for. Confused

Everyone is a 'disgruntled employee'. What kind of word is 'disgruntled' anyway.? Can someone be 'gruntled'.?

Wiz, There are two types of variable here: text or string and integer. For example, rank is an integer, but $ranktitle is text or string.

Scott, we can't really use the persistant variables until we know what they all are Very Happy

How's the list coming?

(So, you think PalmSource will continue to support garnet after they release cobalt?)

You can make up your own pvars just by picking a name as a reference. The fixed runtime variables are:

$ranktitle (text of title)
$grayscale (1 for grayscale, 0 otherwise)
$difficulty (1==easy, 2, 3==hard)
$demo (1 demo, 0 registered)

In reply to your question crakerz about Garnet / Cobalt: I think they will continue to support Garnet for awhile because Cobalt is fresh - really fresh, as in it hasn't passed the test of maturity yet, and there is a thriving Garnet market that they don't want to kill until they have Cobalt established. I have to say though I remember their statement when OS 5 was released about maintaining an OS 5 build that would run on 68K processors (because of ARM transition fear) however I don't see any of those around.
