I agree! Here here! That book is THE book for Hypertalk programming. No other book even comes close to giving what that book gives. I could not have done what I've done without it. On another note: I like the feature where the ANSWER command does not limit you to 100 characters of text or whatever. I often use "answer cd fld someField" from the message box to check the contents of hidden fields that I am making changes to. Some of them are very lengthy. And Rev 1.1 opens a big window, with a scrollbar, so I can see the contents of the entire field. Very nice. -- --Shareware Games for the Mac-- http://www.gypsyware.com http://www.gypsygames.com
