[comp.sys.mac.hypercard] Note to Bill Atkinson on Hypercard

jlc@atux01.UUCP (J. Collymore) (01/28/88)

I'm working on developing a stack with a useful little button (sorry, I can't
go into details).  The problem I'm having is that in the script, I want to
have the "put" command put some information into a specific line, of a specific
field of a card that is NOT in the current stack.  Unfortunately, I found that
this cannot be done.  I have tried telling the script to first go to the target
stack and then try to do the "put" (this only gives me the "No such card."
dialog box).  I have tried putting a more specific pathname in the "put" line
(this only gives me an error dialog box of "can't understand argument after
"put").

Please, any of you who work for Apple and can talk to Bill, please tell him to
allow the put command to put items in stacks that may not be in the current
stack.

Thanks.
