I know that you are not supposed to program Hypercard for any particular
variant of Mac, but I need to find a way to tell if I am on the standard
9 inch screen, or if I am on a larger screen. My stack will not complain
if it doesn't know, but it would be much nicer for those on the larger
screen if it knew.
BTW: My stack configures and (hopefully) communicates with a Micom Port
Selector (we got fed up using a PC).
Mike.

HyperCard version 1.2 and later has the function "screenrect()", which returns the location of the four corners of the screen HyperCard is running on. For example, the line put the screenrect into the message box will put 0,0,512,342 into the message box, if HyperCard is running on a 9" Mac screen. jeanne a. e. devoto jdevoto@apple.com
