I remember I've written something like this to Scott years ago "MC user
interface pestering me away" (pardon my language) - but I soon realised I
don't need the user interface at all!
Until today, I don't deal with MC user interface much - and I still haven't
figured out how to do a pull-down menu ;-)
MC has been excellence on inheriting my HyperCard CGI projects. With some
effort on tweaking the code to take advantage of MC data structure (array
especially), it sings.
