I am developing a stack where I want the users to have access to help texts by cmd-clicking, i.e clicking while holding the command key down, at the field, button etc. whose funtion they are interested in. The reason why I chose the command key was that it was the only way to trap a mouse click in an editable field. Now I have noticed that if I click at some text, Hypercard puts that text into the messagebox, after first displaying a rectangle around the text. This happens after the mouseDown message, but before any mouseStillDown messages are sent. When exactly does it happen and most of all, how can I stop it? Is there some system message that I don't know about to override? /Catrin catrin@ditmela.oz.au
