Hey-ya List
Thanks for the great response to my request! I've been hard at work to
tidy up a few things, ended up adding more features and found a few
niggly bugs that I'm just sorting out now.
I had promised a Mac version tonight my time, but looks like tomorrow
night. Sorry for not
I have some text which isn't very wide so I want to flow it from one
field to another (and others in a chain) but I don't see how to do it
in Revolution. It needs to be one contiguous flow so that users can
insert information anywhere and the text will automatically reflow.
As simple example
Hi Ken,
Thanks for the Script.. I can't get it to work though. maybe I am
implementing it incorrectly. I am working on a Mac with OS X and 9.2 for
Classic mode. I have also tested on a Win 98 PC. The script accurately
selects the folder path and assembles the Apple Script but nothing happens

Mike,
I think you might need to add a colon to the path name in the open folder
part of the applescript:
open folder quote pPath : quote cr
Try that and let me know,

Hi Ken,
Still no luck. I tried it on Mac OS 9.2, OSX and Win 98... no luck on all
fronts. I also tried minimizing the script for each specific OS to avoid
mistakes but still no luck.
On Mac OS 9.2 the script does bring the Finder to the front but then nothing
else happens. I created a test
Mike,
Try putting the script into Apple's Script editor (sans all the Transcript
stuff) and see if it works from there:
-- Suppose your hard disk is named Macintosh HD
tell application Finder
activate
open folder Macintosh HD
end tell
If this doesn't work, let me know...

Hi all!
I've been trying to emulate the Quickeys Type Text function - i.e. to
be able to click on a button and have the text that has been stored as a
custom property inserted at that place in a field where the text

Hi Scott,
I'm using an absolute path to locate the folder (I use the filename function
to get it). That part works great. I test it by running the script through
a fld in the stack that displays the path. I can then copy that same path
and execute it from the Windows Run window or from an OS

MANY thanks for the point in the right direction

Mike, did the create alias option in my post not work for you? It worked
for me on Windows 2000...
As a refresher, that was (for a folder at pPath):
create alias C:/Temp.lnk to file pPath
set the hideConsoleWindows to true
get shell(C:\Temp.lnk)
delete file C:/Temp.lnk

Alan,
How about:
1) set the traversalOn of the button to false -- so it doesn't take the
focus away from the field
2) have the button say either:
-- field 1 is your field and the myProp of this card is your custom
property
on mouseUp
if the selectedChunk of field 1 is not empty then

Josh,
Put the image (640x480) into a group object (sized to 100x100). Neat thing
is that you can show horizontal and vertical scrollbars and let the user
scroll around the image, or you can set the scroll of the group yourself.
Oh, just make sure you set the lockLocation of the group to true
Hi Ken,
I did try your script on Win 98 but without any luck.
The get shell(C:\Temp.lnk) part of the script doesn't seem to do
anything. The other parts work including creating the alias, placing the
path within the alias and finally deleting the alias. The shell command
does not activate
How can I find the current position to which I am at in an open file? I need
to be able to go to the end of the file (which 'seek to -1 in file ...'

end of the file.

Ken,
Thanks for the ideas. Actually I came up with something a bit different.
The following handler is in the stack script:
on selectionChanged
set the cInsertionPoint of this stack to the selectedChunk
end selectionChanged
The button script is as follows: (actually since the button is

Mike,
You can do it completely with Transcript... here's a way to do it on
Windows, Mac OS X and OS 9. The Windows version is a little sneaky as it
takes advantage of aliases, but it works nonethelss. I'll be posting this
tip on my site tomorrow
I have been running through the Independent Study tutorial again to
refresh my memory on a few points. I noted this before but I don't
recall if I reported it or if it's been reported earlier. But a
tutorial really needs to *work* correctly to be useful and this one
doesn't.

Hi Terry,
This may sound too obvious, but in the menu Text you
can choose the item Link to set the style of the
selected chunk.
Yep - I was doing that. It was setting the linkText that was giving
me trouble (it'd be nice to be able to do this through a dialog).
Thanks,
Terry...
