[comp.sys.mac.hypercard] updating fields

news@ncsuvx.ncsu.edu (USENET News System) (11/04/89)

IBM file i'm reading in with the FileToField XCMD.  the linefeeds show
up as boxes in the field.  if i choose another tool, or most anything
from the menu bar, the field contents get updated (the linefeeds are
removed)  but if i try a doMenu or choose a tool from within a button
script, it won't work.
From: dcc@ccvr1.uucp (Daniel Carr)
Path: ccvr1!dcc

i even tried sending the field openfield and closefield messages.

thanks for any help!
