In article <11821@leadsv.UUCP> you write: >1. How do I access the serial ports from within an object script?

APDA, the Apple Programmers and Developers Association, offers a serial port toolkit for HyperCard with a set of serial XCMDs and example stacks. It is part # M7015. APDA can be reached at 800-282-2732, or APDA Apple Computer Inc. 20525 Mariani Ave, MS 33-G Cupertino, CA 95014-6299 The toolkit is $20. (There are some other serial Xthings floating around, but this is probably the easiest for you to get hold of.) >2.

HyperCard creates a new card when you try to delete a card? You do realize that when you delete or cut a card, you'll go to the next card in the stack; could this possibly be your problem? -- ========= 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. |
