Casually looking at some ten-year old Hypercard stacks of mine in which I use the TYPE command, I looked it up in the TRANSCRIPT dictionary. The advice there is pretty useless as it stands. The crucial instruction (which is missing) is to first program the computer to select text in the field, but there is no mention of this (unnecessary with the PUT command, which however does not of course simulate typing). It is true that the select command is listed under the 'see also' menu, but going there doesn't help, and the type command is not listed under its 'see also' menu. I recommend that these simple additions be made whenever possible, or this command will be lost to most newbies. It works very nicely in Revolution, so it is a shame for it to be ignored in this way.
