Re: Making Text Files for Unix
1.- Best : You can use the mc chartonum() function to check the differences
betwin the MacOS and Linux chars tables and than parse the needed file with
the
"replace numtochar(xx) with numtochar(yy) in varzz".
Well we are already processing out all the Mac only chars like curly quotes,
m-dashes ("") and other "off the charts" Mac characters, before shipping
the file to the web host servers. I think the non-Unix compatible text file
issue has to do with line breaks being mandatory in UNIX?
You are right. Try "#10;" for the html unix format.
Or let MetaCard do the work for you: put the text into a hidden field, then
get the htmlText of that field.

Re: Image problems.
Could you make the image a button with the icon set to the image and use: on mouseEnter set the icon of me to redIcon end mouseEnter on mouseLeave set the icon of me to whiteImage end mouseLeave I would be most greatful if someone would help me with the following problem. I am developing a stack on a G3 Mac which allows the user to time events by clicking on an image of a stopwatch. This is a gray scale image on a white background. To indicate that the cursor is over the image I would like the white to turn to red, leaving the image of the stopwatch visible. Her's what I have done so far: 1. I selected the image and brought up the color pallette. If I selct foreground and then red I get the result that I want. However, when I set the foreground property from a script nothing happens ( I was using on mouseEnter) 2. I then created a graphic to cover the image of the stopwatch. I played with this for a while and got it to work by selecting color 0,255,255 which is a greenish blue and then setting the ink to SubOver. When I show the image from the script the result is exactly what I want. The problem is when I then run the stack on a wintel machine The result is that the image comes out the greenish blue color and obliterates the image of the stopwatch. I am running MetaCard 2.3.1 Any help would be appreciated. Jim Wall *** James C.

Re: Results of using FIND command etc.
Hi Kevin and Monte, I take it, Kevin, that your suggestion to "find empty" will get rid of the rectangle around the found text. Clever; I never would have thought of that. Monte, sending mouseUp to the field after selecting the foundLine doesn't appear to invoke the field's script. Perhaps I've misunderstood.
