The Goto-Shorthand Failure on Address Bar

[armsys]

The ::Desktop; script won't work on the Address Bar.
Please help.

[PeterH]

Try
::load "Desktop";

("load" is a command, "Desktop" is not - so the error msg.)
(Assuming that Desktop *is* a script...)

Hi PeterH,

::load "Desktop";

But the Bible states the support of shorthand requiring neither LOAD nor GOTO.
The Desktop in my last post is the Window Desktop you stare at daily, not an xys script file.

There is no failure...

The correct syntax is

Code: Select all

::goto "Desktop";

If you read the description in the help file a bit more thoroughly you should notice that this is only valid for multi-script resources... (first line after the caption). Your "Desktop;" is NOT a multi-script resource!

Hi Highend,

You're correct. The help file specifically expresses that the shorthand works for the caption.
In my address bar case, it isn't a caption at all.
Thank you for pointing my oversight.
