[comp.sys.mac.programmer] HyperCard 2.0

egpv29@castle.ed.ac.uk (JHenderson) (02/05/91)

My Mac was shipped with HyperCard 2.0, which seems to be
significantly different from 1.2 with which I was (slightly)
familiar. Another problem is that it was shipped without a
User Guide - so maybe someone can help me get started by
telling me How to Set The User Level So I Can Author Stacks?
The usual business of going to LAST in the Home stack doesn't
seem to work, cos it only lets me choose between Browsing
and Typing - how do I turn on the higher levels??????

Get the message box (choose the Message menu item) and type:

set userlevel to 5 (or whatever)

I tried this before I found the "magic" solution, and it didn't work.
From a brief glance at the Hypertalk code, I couldn't figure out why
it didn't work and "magic" did, but with "set userlevel," several
things were not working correctly.  "Magic" seemed to clear them up.

By the way, the "magic" solution is to go to the last card in the Home
stack and type "magic" followed by a <return>.
