Directory in OS 10.2 (MC 2.43)
Hi all! When asking for the directory in MC 2.41 (OS 10.2) I get a "/" delimited line that starts all the way back to the root hard drive. In MC 2.43 I get the same kind of line that starts at /Users/ and does not include the volume. With multiple mounted volumes that is proving a little difficult. Am I missing something here? Is there a different command top find the initital startup volume - and then I could match the two? Any help - all help - will be appreciated!

RE: Windows grow wild in OSX 10.2
I've been dealing with it for months. This is a "known" bug in MC 2.4 that has been fixed for 2.5 so make sure you upgrade when it comes out. ;-) The best way to handle it so far has been to resize the window in the opposite direction (towards the upper-left) so that when it resizes automatically it doesn't go offscreen as often.

Windows grow wild in OSX 10.2
A symptom I have never seen in Mac OS9 has appeared in OSX 10.2 on my iBook: When I use the grow box to resize Metacard's own windows (e.g., the control browser, or a script editor window), the window does not change to the size I have indicated but to a size that extends off the screen. I can change the size back by typing "set the rect", etc., in the message box, but this is a nuisance. Have others experienced this? Thanks.

RE: Grouping with lists in a script
Hi William, You can either create the objectList by selecting the objects you wish to group, then issuing the single command "group" as in.. on mouseUp select control 1 and control 2 group end mouseUp or if you don't want to select, you can use the 'and' concatenator as in.. on mouseUp group control 1 and control 2 and control 3 end mouseUp -Chipp > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Wilhelm Sanke > Sent: Saturday, March 08, 2003 12:04 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: Grouping with lists in a script > > > Although there is a workaround (see the quotation below), I am still > curious to know how to produce a "list" as in > > "group " of the Metatalk Reference, where stands for a list of > controls. > > The Revolution Transcript Dictionary, which sometimes gives more > detailed information about matters of usage, does not mention the option > to use "group" with a list. > > Well, anybody out there that has an idea? > > Thanks in advance, > > Wilhelm Sanke > > On Tuesday, March 4th, I wrote: > > > Subject: Grouping with lists in a script > > > > I needed to make a greater number of controls into a group by script. > > > > MetaTalk Reference (182) provides this information: > > > > "Syntax: > > > > group > > > > Description: > > > > The group comand makes a set of selected controls into a > > group/background. > > If a list of controls is supplied, those controls will be added to > > the new group." > > > > > > I tried various forms of "lists" and put them into a variable > > "fieldlist", but then > > > > "group fieldlist" failed each time. > > > > Two forms of lists I tried - generated in a repeat-loop - were > > > > "fld 1 > > fld 2 > > fld 3 > > " > > > > and > > > > "fld 1 and fld 2 and fld 3..". > > > > What finally worked after some experimenting was using the "do" > > command, like in > > > > "put "group"&&the name of fld 1 into Fieldlist > > repeat with i = 2 to 100 > > put Space&"and"&&the name of fld i after last word of Fieldlist > > end repeat > > do Fieldlist" > > > > What am I missing in setting up the list structure for using the > > information about grouping in the MetaTalk Reference? > > > > > > Regards, > > > > Wilhelm Sanke > > > > > > ___ > metacard mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard ___ metacard mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard
Re: Grouping with lists in a script
Although there is a workaround (see the quotation below), I am still curious to know how to produce a "list" as in "group " of the Metatalk Reference, where stands for a list of controls. The Revolution Transcript Dictionary, which sometimes gives more detailed information about matters of usage, does not mention the option to use "group" with a list. Well, anybody out there that has an idea?
