[ YumYum line-eater food ] I gonna reply to two postings because they seem to be having the same problem. >Playing with HyperCard, I came upon the "Art Ideas" stack, which seems >designed to provide graphics for users to cut out and paste into other >cards. However, upon entry it always sets the userlevel to 1 (judging >from what appears on the menu bar) and resists all efforts to change it. >I type "set userlevel to 5" in the message window, and nothing changes. >I even tried 'send "set userlevel to 5" to HyperCard' to try to >circumvent the mysterious script. No such luck. So I have no way of >using any of these graphics. Nor of seeing the remarkable script which >is doing this to me, which I am extremely curious to see. I checked >all over the stacks that came with HyperCard, and this is the only one >that has this property. > >Perhaps one of our readers at Apple can tell me what is going on, or >how to break this lock? Sounds like you accidently got into "Protect Stack" and protected you your stack. Check the file menu and see if you can see the "Protect Stack" selection. If you don't, than your stackis protected from changing the user level. Hold down the command key while drag down the File menu. Now you'll see the "Protect Stack" selection. Once your in the Protect Stack dialog box, you can set it to scripting. Click 'Okay'. Now you should be able to change the userlevel to whatever you'd like. >I was playing around (er ... *developing*) with an existing stack and >went in to Protect Stack and set the user level to "Typing." Well, it >now seems that I can't get back to anything that will let me set the >user level to scripting once again. Did I blow it??? I tried entering >the command "set userlevel to 5" in the message box (which seems to be >accepted) but I still don't have sctipting priviledges. Is there any >recourse? (If it's in "The Complete HYPERCARD Handbook," I've not >found it.) See above. Good Luck, Jackie decwrl \ amdahl -- !jackie@apple sun /
