Does anyone know if it is possible to lock the screen on a card when opening other applications via hypercard scripts? I have buttons that execute macros to open Kermit and connect to other mainframe/unix systems. I would like to hide the initial screen changes from the user until the connections are complete. The progression of screen changes includes: 1) a HC message box with the Open Kermit command; 2) the opening Kermit screen; 3) the typing of the connect command at the kermit prompt; 4) in some cases the typing of an additional password. Is this possible? "Set lockScreen to true" only seems to work within HC and not when opening other applications. Perhaps there is an XCMD for this kind of situation?
