I was asked this question by a guy on the weekend, and was unable to help
him.  Any of you Hypercard gurus able to answer??

"I want to have a BACKGROUND button which has a script that tries to FIND
an arbitrary text.  However, when I try it, it only finds the text in
BACKGROUND fields, not FOREGROUND.  The FIND works properly when you use
the MESSAGE box.. how come?"

The guy concerned was not a programmer and so was quite pissed off that
Apple had dangled this carrot in front of him (let him actually program up 
an application that suited his needs) and then taken it away (by
introducing stupid bugs that, quite frankly, a non-programmer can live
without...
