I've got the basics down for hypertext. Lock the text of a field, and then in the script of the field do something like set textlock to false -- or is it locktext? I never get it right click at the clickloc click at the clickloc put selection into it set textlock to true go to card it of stack "dictionary" My problem is that I need to get the next and previous word. "white" would go to one entry, but "white bread" is different and "egg white" is separate from those two. Ideally I would like to wave my hands and instead of "it" I would have ThisWord, LastWord and NextWord to play around with. To extend my wish list, I would like to be able to make m own definition of word, rather than using the Apple- defined delimiters. Any help for me out there?? P.S. The one-word hypertext I've shown above is (with apologies to S.J.) insanely great. A compliment to Hypercard that a simple 6-line script can do all that.
