Re: The Aborted Plunge (Metacard to Revolution)
I have asked several times since using MC about searching all scripts, and never got a really good solution. I MISS the Hypercard ss function. That was awesome! It just took you to each instance, let you change it, then moved on to the next one. Was HC's script editor modal? I'd thought it wasn't. If not, how did ss suspend while the script was being edited? Just for curiosity, I just launched HC and checked it out. Script Editor is modeless. The search script handler has if the script of this stack contains pattern then edit script of this stack repeat with curBgnd = 1 to the number of backgrounds ... All objects are checked the same way, so apparently the script suspends while script editor is opened and continues after it is closed. I don't have MC here to check.

Re: Cross cursor
Hi Signe Marie, OK, I checked on my PC and found the following. Hi Klaus I've downloaded the latest IDE. After testing on Windows there are a few things to observe: 1. When the script editor is open and I use ctrl + f to find something in this window, the wrong find window opens (the one with the 3 options: partial words, whole words, case sensitive In stack ) Instead I have to close it first and then choose Tools -- Find in the script editor menu. Yes, the script window apparently does not get/have the focus so the CMD-F gets passsed to the mctools stack. Any hints from the other folks on how to fix this? I have no idea unfortunately. 2. In the new Tools.mc there is an overlapping in the menu File: Open stack partially covers Ctrl+o. Yes, but this is something we canot fix, since bwe can not defin the wiodth of pulldown buttons. However this is just a cosmetic issue and I'm sure we can live with it ;-) 3. And the cross cursor still appears from time to time. It happens when I use ctrl+o to open a stack when another stack already is open (but not always). It is actually the cursor belonging to the Scrollbar tool. Sorry, cannot reproduce this one. Someone else seen this?

MC and Rev don't do that, since their editors are just stacks.

One of the biggest issues I've had with list-based search scripts is that I often have dozens of hits spanning multiple stacks. After changing the first three or four, I lose track of which link I clicked on and end up starting over. Plus doing the whole manual Open, Edit, Save and Close script dozens of times :-) Shari -- Windows and Macintosh shareware games BIackjack Gold http://www.gypsyware.com ___ metacard mailing list metacard@lists.runrev.com http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard

Well, maybe there is a way but it would be tricky to implement. That's why all the examples you've seen have provided the results in a separate list. One way to keep track is to just keep an eye on the titlebar of the script editor, which will tell you where you're at. The search stack I wrote for myself also retains the selection of the script that's opened, so that also provides a clue. (Did I send you that one?) I do, however, use the ss command in the message box to bring up my search stack. It's a handler in my custom backscript, which loads when MC is launched. on ss palette searchScripts end ss -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | [EMAIL PROTECTED] HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com ___ metacard mailing list metacard@lists.runrev.com http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard

Note that you have to have the cursor in the script editor field though, otherwise the script editor doesn't have focus (which seems logical.)

OSX Universal standalone
I created a UB standalone for OSX. It appears to run fine on my Macintel, however, it fails to launch on my B/W G-3 running Mac OSX 10.2.8. S. I want to make sure I understand the various OSX builds. x86-32 = Macintel OSX only Universal = all Mac OSX PowerPC-32 = non-Macintel OSX Is this correct? Should Universal run on all flavors of Mac OSX?
