First off, my apologies for posting to comp.sys.mac, but for some
reason my system denied me permission to post to
comp.sys.mac.hypercard.

I spent about an hour playing around with the Retrospect stack that
Chuq recently posted, since some of the things the stack does
(Retrospect, too, for that matter) look interesting.  I think I've got
most of it figured out, but I'm missing one critical link.  When
opening some of the cards in part one, HC will drag a title from one
area of the card to another, and then highlight it, and then put a
shaded box behind it.  I think I understand the scripts that make that
happen (the scripts for the "mv" and "mf" messages), but I cannot see
how those messages are ever sent initially.  I expected to find an
"openCard" handler or some such thing, but I haven't had any luck.

Has anyone else dissected this stack, and if so, do you have any
pointers?

Thanks,

Mark
