My code for displaying the Gropples (this is in a Draw event, by the way):

at position (view_xview+6,view_yview+8) draw text: Gropples:
at position (view_xview+80,view_yview+8) draw the value of: global.gropples

See, this is one of the many reasons why we need the edit button back.

Does this work?

Yes, but that's pseudocode. You'll need to do the thing using the drag and drop.
