As the happy new owner of a Mac IIsi, I now own a copy of Hypercard 2.0. I've never been much of a Hypercard hacker, but now I think I'd like to do some exploration of the system. I've got a few stacks which I've converted from HC 1.2.5 and they seem to work... usually. I'd like to check out the scripts, make changes, etc. but the new HC 2.0 doesn't seem to allow a user to get to scripting level or whatever-it's-called very easily. I haven't been able to figure it out, anyway. Backarrow from the Home Card only offers me the Browsing and Typing levels. Yeah, I know, it's probably been asked a hundred times before... but I'd appreciate replies by Email if you can tell me how to do it.

Showing the Painting, Authoring and Scripting buttons is a dead simple task taking about 10 seconds. Getting to scripting level without needing to display these buttons (or even go to the Home Stack) takes about 3 seconds. I can only assume Apple put this there as an "HC-IQ" test, like getting Tech Note #31 up in the Tech Notes Stack. Not being one to post spoilers... :-). I'm sure there's a reason for this, but I can't figure it out. ======================== Tom Evans tom@wcc.oz.au ** ADD ".au" MANUALLY (don't trust "reply") ** Webster Computer Corp P/L, 1270 Ferntree Gully Rd Scoresby, Melbourne 3179 Victoria, Australia 61-3-764-1100 FAX ...764-1179
