Greetings.
It seems that when I convert a HyperCard stack, any style runs in the
fields are lost. All the text is set to Arial plain. Does anyone know of a
way to avoid this? Thanks.

I saw this note on the Squeak (a SmallTalk-based development environment)

You could pre-process the text to apply the group style, creating an
associative array along the way to make it easy to extract the

How do I identify the path to the CD-ROM drive on a Windows machine?
This returns false:
there is a directory "D:/"
However, this returns true:
there is a file "D:/myFile"

Here's an approach that handles text where all sentences end with a
period (.) - admittedly not very real-world, but maybe it will stir some
thoughts. This handler converts the user's click on a word to a sentence

Mark,
Thanks alot! It worked like a charm. I just stuck the script on a button and
changed "your handler" to "mouseUp". It puts all the images onto separate
cards, which requires alt-arrow keys to navigate through them (or the
navigator tool). With a few minor modifications..this could be useful
