By the way, even with you trolling me, and in case you really do care but just are not willing to admit it in front of your friends, I made a video to help you understand that working with an ID does NOT stop other scripts from working with the same object:

No shit, Sherlock.

Snit
Good. What baffled you at one time

Octavian W. Lagrange
What baffled me was the bizarre way Mack Terminal behaves. That still baffles me.

Snit
OK, so you are still baffled. If you want to learn I am happy to help where I can.

Why all of the sudden are you going to be helpul? You thus far have shared only your confusion.

is now obvious to you. THAT is what the goal was here -- to help you learn what you were asking about.

Octavian W. Lagrange
I never learned why you think having a script reference "Window 1" is a good idea. There must be no answer to that one.

Snit
Well, you still have come a far way... it was not long ago you were talking about each script having its own window 1 for terminal, about having different instances of terminal... and even implications that if I referenced it with the ID and not the index that would prevent some other (hostile?) script compete with it.

I never said anything about *preventing another script* from targeting the window. The point is that you want *your script* to target the *correct* window.

To look good for your friends you had to pretend you were just trolling me, but in the end I think you really wanted to learn and I hope you have.

Octavian W. Lagrange
Wait, you kept claiming I was trolling you.

Snit
Of course you were. And are.

Octavian W. Lagrange
Now your claim is that I was pretending to troll you.

Snit
Nope.

Snit : "... you had to pretend you were just trolling me..."

Octavian W. Lagrange
Which is it? See above, still quoted, where you say, "even with you trolling me..." Just think, if you had a mind, maybe you could make it up.

Snit
Re-read what you read. :)

Still quoted above in this post we have from you:

"By the way, even with you trolling me..."

and:

"... you had to pretend you were just trolling me..."
