Does there exist an easy way for printing whole content of fields in Hypertalk? For example something like the Print Record facility of Hypercard, but implemented as a script at the stack or card level. Our aim is to build the library catalog of a University department. We would like to make easier printing of lists of books under search criterions. Mail me your ideas. I will sum up answers to the net.

There is a XCMD called PrintClip that is located in the AppHyper section
of Compu$erve, in the XCMD library. (I'm not allowed to access FTP or else I
would upload the thing). It's quite small, and all it actually is send what
ever has been put into the clipboard to the printer. I suppose you can do
some limited formatting, but the whole idea is just do dump text to a printer.
The catch is that you have to use a HTalk fragment like so
click at the loc of cd fld "myField"
click at the loc of cd fld "myField" -- click twice on field
domenu Copy Text
PrintClip -- print it.
...or something like that (can't access my stack obviously, no
2megRAM=no MF! {sniff}). Anyway, it _might_ be able to do what you want,
that is, if I understand what you want to do correctly...

I also wrote an XCMD to print a field (or variable) from HyperCard called: PrintField. Unlike PrintClip, one can specify a font, font size, and style parameters to print the text. This is also on Compu- Serve and on Delphi. -- Mark Scherfling mrs2@gte.com
