Everyone else will probably chime in soon with numerous ways to clone cards, create cards, etc. The thing that I still struggle to remember though (as a relative newbie) is that you can't save changes to a standalone. So if you make a new card (however you like) then quit.. The card won't be there when you open the standalone next time. The easiest answer is to make a little stack (splash screen) that opens the address book stack for you (or your professor). So.. build a nice little stack that can even have a single field saying "Opening Address book for you...". In that stack have a script handler that says "open stack "Address Book" or whatever you've called it. Then when you close/quit the address book standalone, it will properly save changes (after asking you of course?).. Or do you need to say Save stack(?).. Now I'm getting confused... Doesn't matter.... Again someone will chime in soon on the various ways to do this also. I just wanted to let you know that you may be doing everything fine from a HyperCard perspective and yet not getting what you expect.
