Is there any way that one can "Trap" the opening of a script? What I want to do is provide a short script which traps the opening of all scripts and inserts/changes the first few lines of the script to indicate the date of the change. This would allow better tracking of changes to the script. The script below works for any script that I have tried but only if the edit command is typed into the message box. I want to be able to trap "Cmd Option S/B/C" or clicks used to edit scripts of buttons and fields. I would also like to trap "edit" from the info box but I rarely use this feature so it is not as critical. on edit what,toss,object global userName if what contains "script" then get script of object if line 1 of it contains "Edit History:" then repeat with i = 2 to the number of lines of it if line i of it = "-- End History --" then exit repeat end repeat put i into insertLine else put "-- Edit History:" & return^B & "-- End History --" & return before line 1 of it put 2 into insertLine end if put "-- Edited "&& the short date &","& the short time^B & return before line insertLine of it set script of object to it end if pass edit end edit Has anyone got any ideas on how this may be done easily? Can this be done without changes to HyperCard? Reply by mail and I will summarize (eventually) for the net. Thanks in advance, Dave Milton <milton@ccu.UManitoba.CA>
