Hi, This is the first posting for me to this net. If the following questions are asked in the net already, please bear with them. What I would like to know is that 1. The differnce between Hypercard and Supercard. 2. Do they have some compatibility problems (e.g. Hypercard stack for version 1.2 is usable for version 2.0?,...) 3. If Japanese fonts are available, can I use them in Hypercard or Supercard? I am planning to use either Hypercard or Supercard to create a nice-looking user interface for Japanese-English machine translation system on a Mac. I really appreciate your email reply to me (twakao@nmsu.edu). Thank you very much. Takahiro Wakao The Computing Research Lab at the New Mexico State University

Help!
I have a simple question and no documentation so I turn to the Net.
I want to divide the numbers in two fields:
on mouseUp
add bg field "foo" to bg field "fa"
divide bg field "fa" into bg field "fum"
end mouseUp
What's the right syntax for the divide? Is multiply the same?
I'm trying to determine the percentage of one field to another.
And, these fields are on the same background and used by
all cards in the stack.
I know this is easy--but not when there's no one to ask.
Thanks for your answers.

Is multiply the same? > divide field 2 by field 3 -- puts the result into field 2 Same for multiply. I tested the syntax by typing the syntax into field 1, and used a button whose script was simply "do field 1" Nice trick for testing variations on scripts. I think sometimes I've programmed a field to "on mouseleave do the selection" Dan Dlugose UNC Educational Computing Service -- Dan Dlugose Internet: dlugose@uncecs.edu UNC Educational Computing Service Box 12035, Research Triangle Park, NC 27709-2035

Hello, I am new to this group and so all the usual appolgies if I am raking up questions that have been asked before. Question 1 I am using a palette created from the power tools stack, I don't want it to go away but I don't see how to prevent the user from clicking the go away box in the palette. I also don't see any easy way of checking that the palette has gone other than searching the window list. I noticed that the field palettes used in the art stack and power tools send a message when the palette is closed but not the power tools palette. The way I keep the palette on screen at the moment is to have an idle script that constantly calls the palette up. But since hypercard is supposed to be an event based system, this is a smelly and unpleasent solution. Question 2 As far as I can see, there is no way of a stack knowing that it is about to be switched out by MultiFinder. The resumeStack and suspendStack messages don't work for multifinder switches. Is there any way other than using the suspended variable to know if you are being switched out ? Thanks, Mark S.
