I am attempting to write an application in hypercard, part of which
needs to locate and display words (in context) of a field. At first I
considered puting the word and its neighbors into the message box but
I was not pleased with this method. I therefore decided to write a
routine that would hilight a word right inside the field, just like
hypercard does. As it turns out, this is easier said then done.
Does any out there know of a method to do this (preferably without
resorting to an XCMD). Thanks in advance.
