Yes, it's been reported that HyperCard 2.0 has vastly improved printing and reporting features. However, you can print selected cards from a stack in 1.x: open printing -- or "open printing with dialog" print this card print card 23 print card "foo" close printing This will print those cards specified, using the settings from the Print Stack dialog. -- ========= jeanne a. e. devoto ======================================== jdevoto@apple.com | You may not distribute this article under a jdevoto@well.sf.ca.us | compilation copyright without my permission. ______________________________________________________________________ Apple Computer and I are not authorized | CI$: 72411,165 to speak for each other. |

I haven't seen one concise document on 2.0 features; but there's been lots of conversation on CI$, and my local user group got a glitzy 3 disk set of stacks from Apple that goes into great detail and includes some visual mock-ups. "They" say that in 2.0 cards will have a new property known as "marked". I think you will be able to set cards to marked manually or from within scripts, and then "print marked cards", or something equally simple. Even better, you can script with the print command to print any expression, so you could specify fields by name, or even "print fld a + field b", and if those fields contain numbers the sum would be printed. The possibilities go way beyond these plebian examples. --B. * Origin: Crossroads of History (1:226/200.4) -- Barry Chern via cmhGate - Net 226 fido<=>uucp gateway Col, OH UUCP: ...!osu-cis!n8emr!cmhgate!Barry.Chern INET: Barry.Chern@cmhgate.FIDONET.ORG
