There is a real simple way to do this. HyperCard now returns all errors in the result. So you can "go to card cardName" and if the result is "no such card" then handle it appropriately. >HyperMedium as an intruction manual. I think the tutorial for Migent's In-House Accountant was one of the first to be done in HyperCard. There are many people doing this now including Claris! As for instructions on something other than a software program, try Kinkos Academic Courseware Exchange for stacks on various topics. >Trapping keypresses. Guy de Picciotto's INKEY external command works great. It is available on most services. You can find it and many other external commands in my XCMD Register stack. Send me a disk and a SASE and you'll get it free. >Unexpected error 54321 and "Sorry" This usually happens when you are playing with the "debug writeon" and "debug writeoff" commands that are undocumented commands in version 1.1 ONLY. They turn writing to the disk on and off. Make sure those commands are not in your stack anywhere. A good way to check would be to run the stack under 1.2 and wait for "Cant understand debug" to show up. >Miniature sized set of relevant cards Copy a card, and when you choose Paste, hold down the command and option keys (I believe). Those may not be the exact keys, but it is a combination of command/shift/option while you are choosing Paste. That will put a miniature picture of your card on the screen. You can easily write a script to paste many of them onto a blank card. I will post the code if you like. >Printing on the IISC from HyperCard 1.2 There is a bug in HyperCard version 1.2 that will not allow it to print on the LaerWriter IISC correctly, or sometimes at all. The only solution is to upgrade to HyperCard version 1.2.1 (the most current release). +-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-+ Bryan Menell, Stackhead UUCP: hodge.cts.com!pnet06!bmenell Pisces Publishing/HyperMedia Group ARPA: hodge!pnet06!bmenell@crash nosc.mil (714) 540-6744 Fax: (714) 540-6936 INET: bmenell@pnet06.cts.com -=> CServe <72307,2100> GEnie [B.MENELL] AppleLink: D1319 <=- "Bill Atkinson is as close to a God as you can get!" +-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-+
