Anybody know how to get Hypercard to open on a particular stack? I'd like it to be startup and open on the weekly calendar stack..... -- Ray Wagner Computer Science Department INTERNET - rpw@uvacs.cs.virginia.edu The University of Virginia CSNET - rpw%virginia@relay.cs.net Charlottesville, VA 22903 UUCP - ...!cbosgd!uvacs!rpw

If not, then there are 2 ways that come immediately to mind: 1) In the Finder, double-click on the stack that you want. 2) Add a small script to your home stack that goes something like: on startup GetHomeInfo go to stack "Weekly Calendar" end startup -- Keith Rollin amdahl\ Sales Technical Support pyramid!sun !apple!keith Apple Computer decwrl/ Disclaimer: I read this board for fun, not profit.

You will find a startUp word defined there, if you modify it to be: on startUp getHomeInfo go to stack "Weekly Calendar" pass startUp end startUp it should do what you want, other than a brief excursion of displaying the home card... -- David W.

I'd like it to be startup and open on the weekly >calendar stack..... You can start hypercard by opening the stack icon that you want instead of the application icon. This will put you into that stack on starting up. I've only tested this with stacks I created myself. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dan Kerpelman ARPAnet : kerpelman@ge-crd.arpa GE Corporate R&D GE DECnet: ctsvax::kerpelman Schenectady, NY, USA telephone: (518) 387-5086
