[comp.sys.mac.hypercard] Adding text at the bottom of a field and ticks

pevans@umd5.umd.edu (Peter Evans) (09/22/90)

Two (unrelated) questions:

When a card is opened I would like to move the cursor to the end of
the text stored in a field.  How can I do this?  I thought the tabKey
message would do it but this selects the text in the next field.

I need to record time related information and it appears that there
are not always 60 ticks in a second.  How accurate is the time via
"the time" and "the ticks"?  Is the variation dependent on machine
type or processing?

Send answers to me and I will summarize.

Thanks,
Peter Evans
