I would like to add text to a scrolling field as part of the background. I saw in the documentation how this is explicitely not allowed. Is there a way around this, or is there talk of removing this limitation, or is it something I should make my peace with? Thanks in advance, Brad Smith System Administrator Baskin Center, UC Santa Cruz brad@saturn.ucsc.edu ...!ucbvax!ucscc!saturn!brad

"Shared text" as we like to call it is still only on the list of things we too would like to see. One neat workaround for a single line of text is to use a background transparent button, whose font and size and style can be set by a HyperTalk script. When printed out, this text is printed at best quality on a LaserWriter, whereas using Paint Text in the background only receives a 72 dpi treatment. Dan Allen Software Explorer Apple Computer
