I am trying to put together a series of XCMDs to generate graphs from
within Hypercard. Not very successful. The pascal code works, but the
interface doesn't -- the following fragment draws a gary circle on top
of a card, but completes with an error 123453. What does it mean?
Thanks. Stephane

I am posting this on behalf of a friend. When you print from Hypercard, you are printing one page at a time. She is involved in the development of a language software. She wished the student can print off the content (text) from various cards on the same piece of paper, preferably from HC itself. Is there a way? The higher the level of automation the better, because the users are kids. Or can she use some other program or DA to help? Thanks in advance! Ida

I'm looking for a math function, Y to the X (I can't do superscript).
exp, exp1, and exp2 don't do it. Is there any Math XFCNs out there?
Thanks

Is there any Math XFCNs out there? No need for an XFCN. The HyperTalk operator for exponentiation is the caret "^" (shift-6) and works like any other binary operator, e.g. get 2^3 -- puts "8" into it -- ========= jeanne a. e. devoto ======================================== jdevoto@apple.com | You may not distribute this article under a jdevoto@well.sf.ca.us | compilation copyright without my permission. ______________________________________________________________________ Apple Computer and I are not authorized | CI$: 72411,165 to speak for each other. |

I am in need of a database to a specific function. A friend of mine suggested that hypercard can be configured to do what I need. I am interested creating a database with the following fields: Brand Name : consisting of characters, max of 80 Generic Name: also made of characters, max of 80 Discussion: consisting of characters, about a paragraph long (4500 characters) I would like to search through each field independantly, including the last field. Each record would need have 4680 bytes plus what ever the system needs. If it is possible, I am looking to get a 40meg or greater hard drive. My questions: 1) is such a system possible on the Mac using Hypercard 2) What type of mac would be suggested. 3) any other constructive suggestions welcome. I would also ask that any replies are send directly to me, to ensure I read them before our system skims the post! (our system has been rather flaky!)
