-- Both HC and LC allow sorting cards with a sortKey: sort cds by word 2 of the short name of this cd -- It is true that there is no "go" menu, and you have to script your own find. What has replaced it, with cmd-F, is the find and replace gadget. Much more flexible and powerful, if less quaint. -- There is a "recent" keyword in LC, but what HC really had was a super thumbNail dialog that showed all recent cards. Old fashioned but cool. LC seems to have diminished that functionality.

How that booklet managed to get from Carbondale, Illinois, via Saudi Arabia, The UAE and Scotland to Bulgaria escapes me. So; opened the thing for the first time since about 1994 and started reading: Sorting Cards The Sort by Name command in the Utilities menu lets you arrange cards alphabetically by either first or last name. ---------------------------------------------------------- I wonder how one does that in Livecode? ---------------------------------------------------------- Searching for text 1. Choose Find from the Go menu. ---------------------------------------------------------- I wonder how one does that in Livecode? ---------------------------------------------------------- The Recent command AS you go from card to card and stack to stack, HyperCard automatically keeps a record of where you've been. The Recent command in the Go menu shows (in miniature) the card you have looked at, up to the last 42. ---------------------------------------------------------- I wonder how one does that in Livecode? Certainly View/Recent does not do that. ---------------------------------------------------------- Quite fin reading that.
