Does any one know how to fake out hypercard to think that the user is holding down the commandKey when in fact he isn't. This would enable you, say in a field script, to obtain a word or text and fire off scripts in buttons or other places using that text. The following script works but forces the user to hold the command key down and as an additional side effect the msg window pops up. on mouseUp if the commandKey is down then put msg into butname -- determine is butname is a valid button name repeat with count = 1 to the number of buttons if butname = the short name of button count then send "mouseUp" to button butname else exit mouseUp end if end repeat end if end mouseUp Also is there any way to disable (temporarily) the msg window from popping up. Thanks, I'll repost if I get an answer Sandy Ressler ressler@cme-durer.arpa
