Dear Dr.Mark Anderson,
Though I know how busy you must be.
Thanks in advance.
Could I take advantage of yours expertise ?
Where could I find Sector.format ( or $Sector.format ) in your aTbRef ?
Respectfully, WAKAMATSU
Dear Dr.Mark Anderson,
I apologize for asking such a foolish question earlier.
The name “sector” must be a User-created Attribute?
If it is not in the default list of DisplayAttribute,
should I consider it a UserAttribute?
Respectfully, WAKAMATSU
No problem, $Sector isn’t a system attribute. But to use $Sector.format() in your document, look at the user attribute Inspector for the data type of the attribute Sector. Then use the aTbRef listing of action codes to see the use of .format. So if Sector is a list-type see list.format(), or if Sector is a number-type, see Number.format(), etc.
Dear Dr.Mark Anderson,
Thanks for your prompt reply.
I will read and study action code listing in aTbRef carefully.
Respectfully, WAKAMATSU
Dear Dr.Mark Anderson,
Thanks for your prompt reply.
I hesitate to ask you but could not you make a guiding branch
workable for leading up to OS10.14 and macOS 10.15.0 or later ？
Finally get around a chance to use wordsRelatedTo(“term”[, N]),
Unfortunately, my usage environment is OS 10.14.5 Mojave .
Cf. aTbRef : wordsRelatedTo(“term”[, N])
NOTE: This feature needs macOS 10.15.0 or later. If used on older OSs, the function returns no data; i.e. not all users of v8.x maybe able to use this feature as it is macOS version dependent.
I do not want to give you a severe nor unwilled challenge.
I hope you will consider it and give it some thought.
Respectfully yours, WAKAMATSU
Have you seen this page Features needing more recent OS versions? It lists all the notes which mention needing an OS later than the oldest supported macOS version.
You are not alone, I am still using v10.14.6 on my Mac.
Dear Dr.Mark Anderson,
Thank you very much for sharing your valuable information.
I will take a look at the page you mentioned as soon as possible.
This afternoon, while clicking on your aTbRef.
In the information in Attributes > System Attribute List
I picked up the information in the Attributes > System Attribute List that I saw that had notes for ver. 9 and earlier.
This is not a complete list.
It is not a complete list, but it’s attached.
This may overlap with Features needing more recent OS versions?
Respectfully yours, WAKAMATSU
P.S
As for wordsRelatedTo(“term”[, N]), it is omitted.

Misc. User Interface Aspects
Cordially yours, WAKAMATSU
wordsRelatedTo("term"[, N]) is an action code operator, not an attribute. You were looking in the wrong place. The wordsRelatedTo() is documented!
$DominantLanguage: Language analysis is only performed on macOS 10.13 and later. As the baseline is 10.13, this does not count as a feature requiring a newer OS as, for v9, higher than the aTbRef9 baseline “macOS 10.14.x or later”. However, your observation has caused me to remove a number of explicit references to macOS 13.x as this is now the baseline so can assumed to always be met.
Please read the Technical Requirements page.
This not relevant as is quoting reference older Tinderbox versions not newer-than-baseline macOS versions. Different things!
Plrease ensure you have refreshed your web browser The Features needing more recent OS versions article already lists the favorites folder and the other things you cite do not refer to the OS version.
I think you are confused about the Features needing more recent OS versions article. It lists only pages that refer to needing the user to run a macOS higher than the baseline. The baseline is 10.13, so the article should only list references to macOS 10.14 or later. The Tinderbox version is not relevant in this context.
Dear Dr.Mark Anderson,
Thank you for pointing this out.
It seems that I was taking a different view than you intended.
I apologize for that. I will read more carefully next time.

from this site to macOS 10.13 at “a minimum of macOS 10.13,” but it won’t connect. When I click on the link, I cannot connect. It just shows the example “Not Found”.
I look forward to your continued guidance.
Thx and regards, WAKAMATSU
Not at all, I’m sorry if my notes were confusing! I’d rather hear about possible errors , than not to hear!
