I want to set up two scrolling fields that will scroll together. That is, I can cover up the scroll bars of one with the other, but I want both to scroll relative to the remaining set of bars. I tried a stack script like: on idle /* here I set the top lines equal - I forget code */ end idle The only problem with this is that this only works when nothing is happening - not the case when the mouse is down on the arrow or thumb. The second field is updated AFTER the scroll; they do no scroll together (can we say redundant?) Does anyone know how to fix this? XCMD or XFCN? Or is it not possible?

I need to make a question I recently posted more specific. Before I asked about how to create dual scrolling fields. (Sorry, I can't include the previous article). I couldn't set it up so that two fields would scroll based upon one's scroll bar (and I tried an on idle script. It doesn't accomplishg what I want). I need this for the first Hypercard, not 2.0, since I have not upgraded yet. Thanks. Matthew Moss mmoss@libserv1.ic.sunysb.edu "We've all gotta jump, so I'm learning to fly!" - EL&P

There is an XCMD that facilitates multiple scrolling fields in HC 1.0 but I can't remember the name of it. There are multiple ways of doing it with scripts alone. Chapter 3 of "Tricks of the HyperTalk Masters" by The Waite Group shows how to do it, as does Danny Goodman in "The HyperCard Handbook 1.2 Upgrade Kit" (I suspect its also in the later editions of his HyperCard books as well). Hope this helps. Keith Conover ireland@ac.dal.ca
