The reason for this is that the TrendWare product (which is supposed to 'clean' stacks by substituting HyperCard abbreviations where the user wrote the long keyword, ie subtituting 'fld' for 'background field' would be acceptible) anyway, the TrendWare product does a good job of changing things, in fact, too good, it also changes literals, which means that if you used the word "field" and meant "field" as in 'answer "Put you answer in the small field" with "OK"' would come out as 'answer "Put you answer in the small fld" with "OK"' after running StackCleaner against it... I can't giv you my source code, but I can tell you almost exactly where to find the answer... Inside Macintosh Volume 1, page 468. It's fairly simple to use and I wish you the best of luck!
