Nicolas,

thanks for clarifying :)

--- --- ---

and for anyone,

just looking at: KeyboardMorphForInput commentStamp:'nice 3/24/2010 07:37' prior:0...

i would "guess" that there were 0/ZERO "prior" comments - as in: this is the 1st comment, since there were ZERO prior... but that is obviously incorrect?

here is what i am still hoping for: someone will at least give a useful "hint" at how to search for anything which has a particular "initial/author stamp" - class comments and examples in particular.

if i find that someone made a helpful comment in 1 place, i imagine/hope that the same person has made other similarly helpful comments elsewhere in the system. which may or may not be, but i would at least like to know of a simple way to look through the results of such a search ... is this sort of search something which does not exist? 



Thanks,

ken

But I didn't write the comment, just replaced _ with :=
