The following trick may not be known by everyone. Add these lines to the
beginning of your scripts, and your script editing will become much more
comfortable. Usage is obvious to those who know HyperTalk.
on mouseUp
if the shiftKey is down then
edit script of me
exit mouseUp
end if
<your script>
end mouseUp
I know there must be more tricks like this aroud the world. Most propably
some of them has already been introduced here in comp.sys.mac.hypercard,
but if they're good, it's no sin to bring them over here again.

holding down the command-option keys outlines all buttons, and a click takes you to the script editor. No need to add to the scripts.

After that article I received multiple postings telling me that the scripts of the buttons can be examined using Option-Command-Click and the fields using Option-Command-Shift-Click. Too bad Danny Goodmans "complete" HyperCard Handbook never mentioned about this. *PLOP* goes my spirit of innovation. :-) On the other hand, without that posting I may never have heard about Option- Command-Clicking. Thanks for that! -- :::: Arto Kojo :::::::::::::::::::::: Helsinki University of Technology :::: :: TKK/TKO-lab/Y227 ako@hutcs.hut.fi :: :: 02150 ESPOO FINLAND s29808u@puukko.hut.fi :: :::: tel: +358-0-4513236 :::::::::::: akojo@otax.tky.hut.fi ::::::::::::::::

There's a lot of very useful info in there, especially if you want to make your stack incompatible with anything prior to 1.2.2 :-). 1.2.2 came out a long time after Danny's book. --------- Tom Evans tom@wcc.oz.au | Webster Computer Corp P/L | "The concept of my 1270 Ferntree Gully Rd | existence is an Scoresby VIC 3179 Australia | approximation" Australia | 61-3-764-1100 FAX ...764-1179 | D.
