Bonjour Domi, >>... >> for instance, this works: >> >> on mouseUp >> put word 2 of the selectedline into lacarte >> go card lacarte of stack "Calepin MC" >> end mouseUp >> >> but not; >> >> on mouseUp >> put quote & the selectedtext & quote into lacarte >> go card lacarte of stack "Calepin MC" >> end mouseup
Try this: If the selectedtext is in a list-field, you should add more info for MetaCard to make it work. ... put the selectedtext of field "le_list-field" into lacarte ## some error-checking is always helpful... if there is a card lacarte then go cd lacarte else beep ## to have some acoustic feedback :-) answer "Merde alors!!! Cette carte n'existe pas du tout !!!" ## optional ;-) end if ... No quotes necessary, definitively !!! Now if it beeps, there is NO card with that name, definitively !!! If the selectedtext is NOT in a list-field, check the answer of Dave. In that case the selection may somehow be gone, so "the selectedtext" will be empty !!! >... > I don't think you want to add the quotes.

This is the important part !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! > >> QUID? > Payment not necessary. <U.K. joke. :)> In case you are not familiar with the dark, english humour: QUID is "bad english slang" for one british pound ;-) By the way, what do you want to express with QUID (quoi :-) ???
