As my first exercise (a learning experience) I am playing with a "name, address, and interests" stack, a modification of one of the samples that comes with HyperCard. Things are mostly pretty straightforward, but there is one thing that I haven't figured out how to do. I would like to be able to print a report for selected cards; for example all cards that contain "windsurfing" as an interest. I know how to use open printing [with dialog] print close printing but that prints out images of cards, which isn't what I want. I want to print in the format produced by "Print Report", but only for selected cards. I suppose my script could create a new stack with only the desired cards, and then "Print Report" from there, but that seems like a sledge-hammer appproach. I keep thinking I must be missing something obvious. Any suggestions or pointers would be appreciated. If people mail directly to me rather than posting, I would be happy to summarize. -- David A.
