Something about metacard that really bothers me... domenu... domenu in hypercard is really important and convenient.
problem is: the menus in metacard don't match. solution would be: invisible menu items. E.g. a menu "other" (invisible, i.e. visible set to false) could have all the menu items that hypercard has. E.g. "cut picture" instead of "cut". This incompatability is avoidable but unless solved at the menu level by metacard will continue to haunt imported stacks. I don't know if this incompatability, which could be easily solved by adding an invisible menu button with the menu items and handlers to the metacard menubar be solved in revolution. I doubt it. I've used rev a bit (didn't like the documentation) and it seems the menu items are just as non-compliant. This is an avoidable and easily solved problem. It could even be solved open source. If rev or metacard promises to incorporate the hidden button with missing menu items I would do it open source as a fun project. So it could even be solved at no cost (presuming my scripting is up to scratch). What do people think? I know the invisible button would not solve syntax like do menu item 3 of menu 2 (or similar) but I never used that syntax - and the syntax example i just gave could well be buggy - I always wrote doMenu "cut picture" which would work using an extra invisible menu button with the missing commands exactly as appearing in hypercard (and if someone else would supply missing supercard buttons we could cover that too).
