Hello... I have a question for all you Hypercard gurus. 

Can you set up a field in Hypercard that does not cause autowrapping.

I need a field that either allows text to go past the field length or else 
it simply beeps when you try to write past the end of a line.

Is this possible? Would I have to write a XFNC? ( I have no idea how to write
one by the way... so if this is the only way.. then I would really appreciate
some code example of an XFNC in LSC pref. and dealing with this sort of 
problem hopefully 8-) )

Also do any of the newer versions of Hypercard have horizontal scrolling
capabilities? ..... or does this not make sense to the feel of a Hypercard 
application.

Thanx in advance for any help
Bruce
