[comp.sys.mac.hypercard] Export Text Button

bayes@hpfcdc.HP.COM (Scott Bayes) (07/12/88)

I have tried to use the "Export text" button of HC 1.1 and 1.21 to
export the text from the README stack (whatever it was called) that
came with HC1.21. I just want hard copy of all the good stuff that
explains HC1.21.

Well, Exporting text from background 1 (if I remember rightly) went
OK, and I got it into my WP, formatted it nicely, and printed it
successfully.

Trying to export for the next background, the one that deals with
new HyperTalk commands, caused an out of memory (or "too much recursion",
I forget which), and crapped out. I have a 1MB SE, Font/DA Juggler, 
Moire, ToMultiFinder, a Startup screen, SoundMaster, and System 6.0.
It fails with Finder; I haven't even tried MF with HyperCard.

Why does it fail? How can I correct it? Does anyone have a nice text
file containing the contents of all those scrolling fields in the stack?

Thank you
Scott Bayes

Not to mention the irony of the Export Text button not being able to
export the text of the stack it's supplied in!?!

I won't mention that.
