** Flowing text fields I would like to be able to have fields flow text from one to another. Additionally it would be desireable to have a background field that is non- scrolling flow text from one card to the next. Kind of like a mix between the shareded field and the flowed text option. This would make it possible to do pagelayout kind of things. ** Save globals property I would like a property to allow saving globals with the stack so that they would be re loaded upon startup. Sure I can do this myself in scripts but it can be a real hastle. ** Preview Backgrounds (Report Background?) I would like to be able to view information from other cards all summarized on a single card just like the report formats allow you to do. The background would simply have a particular report associated with it and it would be created and edited with the very same report tools, only instead of the output going to a printer, it appears on this special background. What I really want is to be able to see and manipulate the data from other cards on the screen just as it appears on the page when printed out from a report. This would put HyperCard up to par with other database applications which let you display data in a "list" format. I just know I have some other ideas rolling around in my head somewhere. When I find them, I will pass them along. Tony Jacobs Center for Engineering Design University of Utah
