Neat. I can run scripts from almost anywhere, including the Notepad (Edit/Open Notepad). Just type in your script and use Ctrl+/ to run it. Found at the Writing Frontier Scripts page, along with an explanation of the 'on ...' added to the script I wrote about previously.

The Explorers Guide seems to be a good 'quick overview' page of the Radio (actually Frontier but it seems similar) application. Some notes from going through it below.

The 'Menu' section doesn't seem to be valid. I can't find any sign of a customisable menu with my initials.

When doing the diskPctFree script I notice Radio added at the top of the script:

on diskPctFree ()

And I couldn't run the script directory. It required me adding a call to itself at the same nesting level as the 'on diskPctFree'. So my script looked like:

on diskPctFree () 
 local (f = file.getSystemDisk());
 local (pctFree = (double (file.freeSpaceOnVolume(f)) / file.volumeSize(f)) * 100);
 if pctFree < workspace.diskSafetyMargin
  msg("Time to clean house on your disk!")
 else
  msg("There's enough room on your disk!")
diskPctFree()

Still it worked fine apart from that. Calling it from the QuickScript also worked.

Looking into what's out there for developing with Radio Userland. Some starting points seem to be:

Apparently other good places to look are anything involving Frontier. On my list to look at includes:

There aren't enough hours in the day....
