Hyper Dudes (and Nerds), I'm having a problem when switching between HC and the finder under Multi Finder. Contrarilly to what happened with HC 1.2.5, HC 2.0 won't erase its open window(s) from the screen when switching from HC to finder. In particular, if big enough, they hide the disk icons and trash box. I can use the scroll command to move the window to the side (or Window Mgr.) but it's a drag (ha!) The 'suspended' property doesn't seem to help since it needs to be used in a running handler. Am I doing something wrong, is it my imagination that something is different from HC 1.2.5? Any suggestions? Thanks. Dominique THOMAS. e-mail to thomas@luciano.stanford.edu

What you could do to hide the HC window is to use Multifinder 6.1.b7, witch
contains a "Set aside"-property which hides all windows of the application.
Read comp.sys.mac.system for a discussion of this special Multifinder. Once
you've got it, you don't want to take it away, but:

I don't remember that HC 1.x hid its window. Both versions hide their floating palettes; it may be that you remember that, and didn't notice the main window hanging around because, under HC 1.x, there was only one such window and its size was fixed. System 7.0 (when it appears) and MultiFinder 6.1b9 both have "Hide Windows" features in their MultiFinder menus. Ask around for MultiFinder 6.1b9 if you want it; it was never officially released by Apple but copies exist and have been widely used. ========================================================================== Rick Holzgrafe | {sun,voder,nsc,mtxinu,dual}!apple!rmh Software Engineer | AppleLink HOLZGRAFE1 rmh@apple.com Apple Computer, Inc. | "All opinions expressed are mine, and do 20525 Mariani Ave. MS: 3-PK | not necessarily represent those of my Cupertino, CA 95014 | employer, Apple Computer Inc."

Here's a script that watches out for being switched out under MultiFinder and makes sure that the card window is hidden for you. Note that this is a very simle script and it will only hide the *current* card window... -- place this in your Home Stack script, or add it to your -- existing idle handlers on idle if the suspended is the visible of the card window then set the visible of the card window to (not the suspended) pass idle end idle Steve Maller HyperCard Engineering Team Apple Computer ------------- Disclaimer: My therapist says I am not to be trusted
