Could someone take pity on a poor retch like me (and dare I think there
might be others out there?) and explain how to use the MC Report Generator?
Its abstruse capabilities have eluded my grasp on several attempts, yet
several people on this list have referred to it as a terrific little tool.

Okay... a request for MetaCard 2.3 (or any relatively soon upgrade) :
soundchannels. They're the most useful things I can think of for a
program that does sound. Is this a wanted feature? It sure is for me...
so many uses for it in games... and other utilities... an idea.

There's been a TON of discussion about printing lately... nice to see this
thread revived. Some of us (count me in) would KILL for better printing.
I'm doing lesson planning software right now, and printing has been a big

In fairness to Mark Lucas, the externals don't work in MC and HC; they
work very well in SuperCard, for which they were written.

Dear MetaCard developpers,
Count me in the list of those who think that MC users should be able
to print directly from MetaCard. A software that has, as one of it's
main goals, the sharing of data, should be able to print that data as
it appears on screen or through a report template in an intuit

I wholeheartedly agree with this. I've always been a strong proponent of

I apologize for the tone -- it is a result of spending weeks trying to
print from MetaCard, using several different techniques, none of which
worked successfully and all of which were way too much trouble for what

Let me chime in to say that I would have liked better printing
capabilities on several occasions. I did try the Report Generator some

for my particular need, I was able to solve the problem another way,
although not without quit
