So how many people have used this? Have you tried editor_frame too? Did it work? I ask because I had mixed results when I first tried the same thing with editor_frame, and haven't got around to experimenting more.

In case you haven't heard it before: The trick is to use editor_seq on to store any positive value you want and then rerieve it using editor_seq with a -1 argument.

I believe editor_frame works perfectly, but only for integers from 0-255. editor_seq works for integers from 0-65535 I think.

Yeah, that'd make sense, I'll try to test that.

[EDIT] Ah, that appears to be it. The lower limit on editor_frame must have mislead me into thinking it didn't work at first.
