r got any shell command to work on NT without setting it, so
I'd suggest you do it. Don't set it for Win 95/98; the default is set
to work for those. But I don't know for Win 2000. Luckily, no one I'm
developing for (mainly corporates) has any plans to install Win 2000
until
net control panel. I guess you'll have to figure out the
results from get shell to put up an appropriate message if this
hasn't been set and the command fails. (My memory tells me that
something is always returned in the result for this command, so
relying on empty may not work.)
Apologies if I'm off track here.

Try turning off the opaque property of the field. I've had some

was usually a mess as opposed to no text appearing as you describe.
But it might be worth trying. If you need a colored background, you
could stick a graphic behind the field.

Hi
Put all the objects to be scrolled in a group, and give the group a
scrollbar (set the vScrollbar property of the group). You'll probably
also need to set the LockLocation property of the group to prevent it
from resizing.
I'm interested to know why you're using two stacks to do this.
st of your mail.
The above example doesn't do any "live updating". It relies on the
openCard message to trigger the update. But I think some kind of live
updating is probably possible through setprop handlers (although this
is only a vague idea somewhere at the back of my head).
Anyway, I'm always interested in hearing about strategies for
maintaining "databases" in Metacard. I'd love to hear of other

constants, to build your text and then do a binary write, it should
be fine. (I've always assumed "return" and "cr" are the same. Someone
correct me if I'm wrong.)
To be more certain (I'm a nervous, untrusting type by nature :)), I'd
probably do a "replace return with numToChar(10) in tWhateverText"
just before writing to file.

Similar conversions are done on reading, so to get exactly what is in
