thanks! I'm going to do a lot of testing to look for glitches and such, and I'll post a list of tests I did and wether they were sucessful. I notice that the picture next to panther is still the scratch cat, not the panther image and that if you double click on one of the example files or "open with panther" the file, it opens in Scratch with obselete blocks or does not open at all for the latter. the only way to open them is file>open in Panther itsself. Good job though, I'm gonna have a look around it now

problems so far: No presentation mode option... can I nab something from the normal scratch file to get that to work?
key P recognised as f1 in the (key pressed) reporter
R = f3
S = f4
T - Z = F5 F11
I tried to open Panther1.0.image with the (content of file [ ]) block and froze Panther. (I was doing this because I was worried that once someone clicked "always allow" to a project, there was a change that someone could have a timed script or something in an unnoticed part of the project that could use the write or clear blocks to actually disable a file nesesscary for Panther's wellbeing.

under the Help menu, "help page..." and "help screen..." lead nowhere... though I'm liking the other things you added in there
I guess the read and write features can be used to save data like scores, values and settings without saving the project by hand.
test: a file is created with a read from file block and access is set to "never". the file is saved and then imported into a file that ALWAYS allows I/O features.
result: Reading and writing from the banned but imported file was allowed. Learn from this what you like.
Panther tends to complain if more than one of it is opened at once.

the script used to read files is quite complex an could cause some people to give up using that feature... do you reackon you could get a (contents of line (1) of file [ ]) block and a [write [ ] to line (1) of file [ ]] ? that would simplify all the scripting

I have published an "improved" version of nXIII's data reading example. you can see it here: http://pantherprogramming.weebly.com/panther-tutorials.html . It has less variables and I hope will be a little clearer.

more problems:
the links on the side of the "load project" window like "examples" and "my computer" don't work. I've been having some problems with saving where the following message comes up:
UTF8(Object)>>error:
[] in PasteUpMorph>>runStepMethods
[] in BlockContext>>ifError:
UTF8(Object)>>error:
UTF8(Object)>>doesNotUnderstand:
Date>>=
UpdatingStringMorph>>readFromTarget
UpdatingStringMorph>>step
UpdatingStringMorph(Morph)>>stepAt:
[] in PasteUpMorph>>runStepMethods
and won't let me save or close Panther.
variables are not created in a project when a sprite is imported that brings variables with it.

log onto weebly.com and enter the pantherprogramming site as a mod. once the page loads, you'll see some tabs at the top of the screen, elements, page, designs and settings. click on page and a list of all the pages comes up. you'll notice the last one ends in "hidden" and that's the one you want. click on it, and then click the blue "edit page" button to get onto it. the password is there.

what are the chances of that?!?!?! oh well ¬_¬
Yeah, good thing is that, unlike another collab/thing im helping make which started off as Emerald which had to change its name to M30W because there is already a programming language called Emerald, Panther is just a mod!
Plus, how many of these features would we be able to add, I know some are pretty far out but they're really good ideas.
