I have a program which uses an array, and I defined meaningful labels as constants to help me remember the meaning of each array element. And I placed text fields in a window so I could monitor the contents of the array, and exported the constant labels as well as the array. BUT when I set the link for each text field as "array[labelA]", "array[labelB]", etc., nothing showed up in the text fields. Finally I changed the links to "array[0]", "array[1]", etc. and that worked. The resource compiler part of BlackBox may be a bit rudimentary.

My own conclusion is that one can write C in any language. One also can
write reasonable code in C. Some languages encourage good attitude while
others just the opposite, but at the end of the day it is the attitude,
which differentiates the masters from their opposites.
Playing devil's advocate, I remember my utter surprise when I read
statements in Project Oberon like "IF mouse = 1 THEN...". The mouse keys
were numbered 1,2,3 (or 0,1,2, don't remember) and these numbers were used
literally in the code published in the book (!!). A bit shameful, was it
not? In later versions the literal constants we replaced with ML, MM, and
MR, as they should have been from the beginning.
Even our gurus have had their bad days.
