Re: [Pythoncard-users] TextField - Setting Enabled to false not working?

[<gre...@co...>]

Ah yes, silly mistake with using the string 'false'.  My syntax 
highlighting doesn't pick up True/False, so I figured they weren't 
keywords...

I'm still confused about the general False vs 0 issue in python, are 
they interchangeable? ..but that's off topic for for this list.

Sorry for the false alarm.
