Thanks to those who sent mail agreeing that the polygon tool _should_ work under script control: however, none of the suggestions worked. It would be _real nice_ to get the definitive word on whether the polygon tool can be made to work in a script from Dan Winkler or someone else privy to the inner workings of HyperCard. What's the trick? Or are Goodman and Shaffer flat wrong about being able to control all drawing tools with scripts? If Apple wants programmers to flood the world with wonderful stacks, one would think they would release a definitive document on ALL HyperTalk features and caveats rather than relying on (evidently) inaccurate third-party efforts. Or is HyperCard an "unsupported" product, like APDA Smalltalk? Or is a definitive already available? -- Nicholas Spies ns@cat.cmu.edu.arpa Center for Design of Educational Computing Carnegie Mellon University
