In writing a fairly large stack to provide a graphic front end for
UNIX I have encountered the following problem. I have a visible,
scrolling, locked card field which uses Geneva font. Upon occasion
it will take input, but not display it. What I mean by this is
that after a command like 'put "blah" into card field "Bottom"'
no text will appear in the field. I checked and found that the
scroll is 0, and the command 'put first line of card field "Bottom"'
will (usually but not always) put "blah" into the message box.
Additionally, if I put card field "Bottom" into card field "Middle"
the desired text will appear there. The final element of the mystery
is that if I delete the field and then paste it back in again it
will properly display any input for a while. It looks as though
I am overloading some variable internal to HyperCard and the
deletion and re-pasting refreshes it. I am using HyperCard 1.2.
Any suggestions?
A second question: Can anyone direct me to an XCMD which
will implement the KERMIT file transfer protocol?
