set cursor

[Nicolas R Cueto]

Hello,

Could someone script a brief example of how to set the cursor to hand
(just as happens in mc -- which I tried to dissect for clues, but) ? 

What I thought would work didn't, namely:

on preopenStack
  set the cursor to hand
  set the lockCursor to true
end preopenStack

Thank you.

Win2000 update?

[David Cramer]

I just reviewed a message from late last year regarding MetaCard for 
Windows' compatibility with Windows 2000. Has there been anything new 
to report on this? Scott noted that at most, there might need to be a 
minor update to deal with last-minute changes in the Win2000 code (I 
want you all to know I'm working REAL hard to be charitable here). 
And I know I will need to be working on Win2000 multimedia training 
starting Real Soon Now.

By the way, I'd like to announce that I now have two software 
products that absolutely fill me with delight whenever I get to 
play/work with them: FrameMaker and MetaCard. Funny how they both 
started in the Unix world. Hey, are there any other Unix-based 
programs going cross-platform? I think maybe I'd better check them 
out!

(I love Photoshop, too, but it's not quite 'fun' in the same way as 
FM and MC are.)

Thanks all,

David

Go url

[Jacqueline Landman Gay]

I had a script that used to work in MC 2.2.x -- it loaded a url and then
used "go url " to open it. Now the url will load, but I can't
"go" to it. Did something change? How would I refer to the cached url in
a script?

List question

[Steven D'Aprano]

Hi,

I'm sorry, but I can't check the xworlds site to get the answer (I don't
have web access at the moment, just email).

How do you unsubscribe from the list? I receive the Digest, and there
are no unsubscribe instructions in the Digest (just a link to the
xworlds site for more info). Perhaps there should be?

I doubt it. The formated text in MC is based on html with not much support
for that either.

It takes the same path as any other message:

object with focus (e.g. a field on MacOS or any object on another platform
that has traversalOn) -> group -> card -> stack -> mainStack -> home stack
-> MetaCard

formatting text in a field

[Leston Drake]

Here's a very basic question for you all...

I have a document with some formatted text that I need to put into a MC field. How do 
you get formatted text into an MC field? I've tried copy and paste, but all I get is 
the plain text.

I've found that I can change the font face, size, and style manually in Browse mode 
using the Text menu. And I guess that I could live with that if copy and paste is not 
supported. However, I can't seem to be able to change the alignment for single lines 
of text. Is this possible?

TIA

re(3): Params & PendingMessages

[Leston Drake]

Thanks to Hugh, Geoff, and Scott for your suggestions. 

I think I will give Scott's suggestion about using a single message to update a 
"counter" for each of the kids a try. I've already got into some "hairy" debugging 
with my current plethora of messages...

AFAIK it is a common technique to forward a port with SSL, i.e. your
http server listens on some odd port only to local requests. On
another port there is a simple non-caching https-proxy that simply
takes any requests from the client, decrypts the data, and forwards
them to your http port.

Native SSL support from MetaCard may now become possible with the new
crypto laws. And it is shurely on the feature request list, isn't it?

You can also build it from a normal MetaCard without any externals.
The FastCGI protocoll is not too complicated but binary, but it
should be easy to do using the new binaryDecode function.
