OK Atkinson et al, here's another obvious(?) addition to HyperCard:

  But, Hypertext was defined this way.  Guide and other systems I've seen do it.

Now, can I do something like (sorry, it's not hypertalk but you get the idea)

	 put location of "word" in field 1 into curses
	 move button to curses  (or some other equivalent action)

I.E. so the button moves to always be under/over the text. and if the text 
is not visible, the button moves off screen?

Anyway, the concept model (as I understand it) does not seem to allow
buttons to be associated with text items within fields. I.E. they stick to
the card/background and not the text.
 Hey! why not allow buttons to stick to text as an added check-box in
the button info box?  

Anyway, I've bashed enough on a great product.
