Is there anyway to print a subset of a stack using the print capabilities that you get when you print the whole stack? Thanx for your help! Arturo Perez ComputerVision, a division of Prime aperez@cvbnet.prime.com Too much information, like a bullet through my brain -- The Police

Thanx for your help! (Oh, the joys of an easily-answered question! :-) Yes, there is. It's done by using the open printing and close printing commands, as follows: on mouseUp open printing -- optional form: "open printing with dialog" print this card print card "foo" print card ID 2245 -- whatever cards you want to print close printing end mouseUp Printing cards in this manner respects the settings in the Print Stack dialog. If you want to give the user the opportunity to change these settings before printing, use the optional form "with dialog". The print command takes any expression that returns a card, so you can specify cards by name, number, ID, or such constructs as "this card" or "recent card". -- ====== jeanne a. e. devoto ======================================== jdevoto@apple.com | You may not distribute this article under a jdevoto@well.UUCP | compilation copyright without my permission. ___________________________________________________________________ Apple Computer and I are not authorized | CI$: 72411,165 to speak for each other. | AppleLink: SQA.TEST

You can also specify a number of cards to print. I think you can say (I don't have my hypercard manual here): print 8 cards So if you know how many cards in the stack you want to print you can just say the number instead of naming all the cards. --chris chris@inmet.inmet.com Intermetrics Inc.
