I just checked it several hours ago in HyperCard, and it works fine. In fact the field I checked, even though a selectable shared text one, is even more customized with voice feedback. Further, I not only navigated back and forth through several cards, but I even made new cards and deleted cards, none of which deselected the line in the field. I could still access it with: put the selectedText of bg fld "CommonWords" ...returned the contents of the line to the Message box, even after all that manuevering. I'll let you know tomorrow...that is if I can work Rev without it quitting on a type 2 error on my old PowerBook (happened 4 times yesterday), which I just defragged. ---------- >> A totally different approach: Put the field into a palette or other >> floating >> window.
