[comp.sys.mac.hypercard] Creating Reports

Ken.Knight@f421.n109.z1.fidonet.org (Ken Knight) (01/14/91)

Is there a way to build up report templates from within scripts? That 
is, create an item, position it, size it, give it its commands to drive 
it (fill it in), and give it default font/size/style info? It'd be nice 
to have such an ability especially in a stack where the general function 
is known (say dealing with transcripts), but the specific details of 
just how that transcript is to look can vary from , in this example, 
school to school or year to year.
