ScratchQuestions
Ok, I have learned how to open the browser, add blocks that do not need "code" or "methods" but I have some questions
how do I make a boolean that when tested reports wether I am receiving a broadcast?
how do I add items like . , / ? > < " ' : ; [ { ] } - _ + = to the list of letters? I can't seem to modify the blockspecs.
note: I have added " . " as the default for
<key[ space ]pressed?>
so it is
<key[ . ]pressed?>
unfortunately this means I have to drag it from the list, and I can only have one default

Re: ScratchQuestions
You are never "receiving" a broadcast - a broadcast is an "event" - it doesn't last. The broadcast could be used to start a script, the script could toggle a variable from 1 to 0 and vice versa. This boolean could let your program respond to the broadcast event.
On defaults; you can leave unattached bits of code (blocks) in the center pane and duplicate them as needed. Use right-click on a block or a series of blocks, and select "duplicate". You can also duplicate blocks and drop them into another sprite - very useful...

Ok, what about something like this
<Wait until I receive \listofbrodcasts/>

Yes, but that still means I would have to open the browser and change the default to get others like
. , / ? > < " ' : ; [ { ] } - _ + =

What do you mean by browser?

You already have "<Wait until I receive \listofbrodcasts/>" available; it's
[blocks] <when I receive[
[/blocks]
On defaults, I'm not sure what you are asking for.
I want a wait until I receive, If you can't make one, please don't reply
