Now I want to say how I think HyperCard should have been. % ..... % Commands that are currently accessible only through menu selections should % be made available as functions, e.g. newcard. Menu selections are accessible via the command doMenu. For instance, here's the script to my "New Card" button: on mouseUp doMenu "New Card" end mouseUp By the way, this also works for bringing up DA's - try doMenu "Control Panel" to see what I mean. Spaces and dots are significant. I couldn't find any way to type an apple in Chicago, so I couldn't try the double-apple DA. What happens if menu names collide, is there any way to handle it? More experimenting seems to be in order. Edward Vielmetti, U-Michigan Workstation Group, uunet!umix!emv
