Hi, conversion to HC 2.0 has been amazingly easy. However, I have had some inconsistent results in using multi-windows perhaps because I lack full documentation. To wit: Stack A is a small stack. Stack B is a larger (by screen measurements) stack. In order to see both A and B, I have this code in A: go to stack "B" in new window It works, except that B is the same size as A and the scroll window is showing. I can scroll around B's surface but the resize button is greyed out? What's going on? Is there a more complete syntactic form to describe how much of B is to be displayed? do be do be doo Thanks, -Zak

If there is not sufficient RAM available to resize a card (stack) the resize button will be greyed. Try cloxseing a window (stack) or two. If that doesn't work your need more RAM, either by increasing the mutilfinder partition or turning off inits or adding SIMMs. You probably can't use the paint tools in your situation either. Evidently they need 40-60K of RAM for overhead. Good Luck. Windows take some getting used to in HyperCARd. Tom Benedict Ssmelly@polari!

Evidently >they need 40-60K of RAM for overhead. Very helpful and unfortunate. I wonder if third party virtual memory software is compatible with HC 2.0? FYI: if you intend to use Oracle on the Mac with more than one HC stack then expect to use at least 3-4 meg for the HC partition alone. -Zak
