"Stack Info..." report that I have 2 backgrounds. typing "go next bkgnd" in the message box generates a "No such card." dialog. How can I see and remove the second background? Is it really there? 2. How can I tell if the Paste menu item under Edit is "Paste Card" as opposed to "Paste Button" or "Paste Text" or whatever? 3. Why does locking the screen break visual effects, no matter which call is made first? (e.g., "lock screen; visual effect x y" doesn't work, but neither does "visual effect x y ; lock screen".) thanks for any and all hints and suggestions. chris... -=- cml@tut.cis.ohio-state.edu Computer Science Department, OSU 614-292-6542 or: ...!{att,pyramid,killer}!osu-cis!cmlp.s. Could someone please mail me the last summary you saw of recommendations on HyperCard (esp. HyperTalk) books? I need some info. I'll settle for "I bought this and it's [great|lousy]!" thanks!
