Hi,

	the following behavior in Hypercard has me puzzled. If you have a
script which goes as follows:

	lock screen
	choose text tool
	set textAlign to center
        type "Foo"
        .
         .
         .
         set textAlign to right
         type "Bar"
         unlock screen

then both Foo and Bar end up right aligned. A similar phenomenon happens
when you set to differerent font sizes and other properties of the text tool
from within a script. Any explanations?



		thanks-
