Hi Joe, Just a day ago, Sheepshaver and Basilisk were mentioned as Classic replacements. I recently managed to install Sheepshaver, but it is rather unstable,...
... Well, Apple's been known to launch lawsuits over less. ;) The difference between "RealHyperCard" and the others is that "RealHyperCard" contains the full...
Thanks for your replies Colin and Jonathynne, much appreciated. Yes, what I meant was that although the colorTools window disappears on command, the whole set...
... In the last card of the Home stack you can turn on Blind Typing. Then you could be able to type "reset menubar" without having to show the message box. It...
... Hah!!! Now I get it! I figured that since this weird behaviour only happens in the one stack it must be the stack that's at fault. So I've just spent an...

... A ha! It's not so much that Color Tools has a handler of the same name as it is that "reset" is a built-in HyperTalk command. By intercepting it without...
... Thus the oft-repeated rule: never name your handlers with reserved words. And the corollary: never name variables or objects with reserved words either. --...
... No argument here Jacquie! ;-) I just didn't know that "reset" was a reserved word. I've never had occasion to use it in it's proper context. We live and...
Hi, HyperCard doesn't have reserved words. You can create an alternative to all built-in commands and functions. For me, this is one of HyperCard's strengths...
... There's one other strange thing about this new stack of mine, which I hope you guys can shed light on. I created some coloured images in PhotoShop and ...
... If I had to guess, I'd say this is a result of Photoshop's color management system. First make sure the image is RGB, not CMYK. Second, something to do...
hi Dave, I have just imported a photo into HyperCard. The openStack handler of the stack contains addColor "install",x If x is 16, I get the distorted colours...
... Sure it does. You can intercept them, but they are still reserved, and they have special meanings in HyperTalk. And if you don't intercept them correctly...
Hi. As Ned Flanders would say "As melon scratchers goes, this one is a honeydoodle, Homer" Weren't both Ned AND Homer on this list back in the day? I know...
Hi Jacque, I believe "reserved word" means "a word that I cannot use because the compiler doesn't let me". This is not the case in HyperCard. Feel free to use...
... Actually, HyperCard does, but the set of reserved words is not exactly what you think at first. Off the top of my head: on, function, end, if, else,...
Thanks for the clever explanation, Jonathyn. I hadn't thought of those examples, indeed. Mark -- Economy-x-Talk Consultancy and Software Engineering ...

Mark, Yeah, it's supposed to be like that. I just wrote the log-in stuff one night to get it out of the way. I didn't say anything, because it's not hooked up...
Hi everyone. The number of people who've signed up for jsCard accounts has been simply amazing. I feel bad for putting the account creation online before the...
Thanks Tyler. I'm really looking forward to making my web stacks :-) Last time when I tried, I couldn't make repeat loops. Will there be repeat loops anytime...
Hello jsCard fans, I have created a little jsCard banner and put it on the Economy-x- Talk site with a link to creysoft.com. Feel free to steal the banner and...
Hi Marielle, You may have to reload. There is 50% chance for the banner to load. If you are somehow unable to view the banner, I'll send it to you. Best, Mark ...
Hi Mark, Got it on reload... but it was too big, so I created a 80x15 version and a 88x31 version: <http://revolution.widged.com/libraries/jsCard80x15.gif> ...
