I have an application for hypercard in which I would like to be
able to select a card randomly (via the pseudo-random number
generator function) in response to clicking on a button. If this
can be done please tell me how, if not tell me why. Thanks.

that can be done... sure: On mouseup get random(the number of cards) go to card it end mouseup I'm doing the syntax of the top of my head, but this more or less is it.

By far the easiest way to go to a random card, is to use: go to any card Don't you love HyperCard? :) -- Thomas Fruin fruin@hlerul5.BITNET University of Leiden thomas@uvabick.UUCP University of Amsterdam dibs@well.UUCP hol0066.AppleLink 2:512/114.FidoNet The Netherlands
