[comp.sys.mac.hypercard] HC 2.0 and parameters

HC 2.0 commands and parameters

I found that for some commands in HC 2.0 you can't get the parameters for them. 
Like the set command for instance.  This doesn't allow you to prevent people
from changing the userLevel or your script.  You could do this in HC 1.x by
typing:

on set
   if the params contains "userLevel" then exit set
   else pass set
end set

or something like that.  Anyway when I tried to use the same script in HC 2.0
nothing would happen, and I found that when you called for the parameters of
this command nothing was returned.

Does anyone know anything about this, is there a way around it, am I doing
something wrong, or do I have a deffectve version of HC 2.0.  And if I don't I
would suggest that apple integrate this into a new version HC 2.1.

Thanx,
Matty O
