[comp.sys.mac.hypercard] find x in field y

per@philabs.Philips.Com (Paul E. Rutter) (03/17/88)

I am having trouble using the find command from hypertalk.  In particular,
in a stack with cards with bkgnd fields "top" and "bottom",

  find "foo" in field "top"

seems to find the first instance of "foo" in the stack, regardless of whether
or not it is in the field "top".  Is this something that has been fixed in
version 1.1 (which I have not been able to pry out of my dealer yet), or am I
missing something?  (I have tried things like 'bkgnd field', and 'card field'
instead of 'field').

  thanx.
