Can anyone help with the following: 1. The 'show groups' command is pretty handy, but it seems to be inconsistent with the HyperTalk programming model in which you can interrogate the state of all properties - shouldn't there be a 'showGroups' property that can be tested/set? In its absence, is there any way to test whether or not groups are shown? 2. Getting real PICT representations of cards. By this, I mean that I want to be able to include pictures of cards in documents (e.g. MSWord), not just as bit-map images of the cards, but with the text in fields (and buttons) held in a form that enables it to be printed at high resolution, as it is when you print the cards directly from HyperCard. PICT files that can be edited (with the fields as separate objects) using a drawing program (MacDraw, etc.) would be even better.
