Global environment
answer "Hello," && the long userName & "!"
The userName
property determines the user's login name or full real name. The short
userName
or abbreviated
userName
is usually the user's login name. The long
userName
is usually the user's full real name. If no modifier is specified, long
is assumed.
In OpenXION 1.0 and 1.1, the long
userName
can be set
but the short
userName
is read-only. In OpenXION 1.2 and later, both the long
userName
and the short
userName
are read-only. (See note.)
HyperTalk did not have this property but used a Username
global variable for the same purpose. OpenXION avoids using any XION global variables for special purposes.
OpenXION 1.0 and 1.1 did not get the user's full real name from the system, but left the long
userName
as a property to be set
by the user themselves. OpenXION 1.2 and later get the user's full real name from the system instead.
The userName
property is specific to OpenXION; it is not part of the XION Scripting Language Standard.
