Just downloaded the latest version of the TNS (3.2.1).  Looks great!

But: I can't get it to work.  For instance, if I click in the subject list
field on the left hand side when one is viewing by subjects, it comes up with a
dialog saying "can't set that field".  When I view the script (of cd fld
"subjectListing") it seems stuck on the last line I've listed here, where it
says to put it into bg fld "subject":

 selectlinexcmd the name of me,scrollLineClicked(5)
  if it is not empty then
    put empty into bkgnd field "theList"
    set style of bg fld "theList" to rectangle
    lock screen
    put it into bkgnd field "subject"


Now I can put stuff into bg fld "subject" just fine from the msg box.  This
kind of error happens in several different places.  When I view by date and
click on a date, it also says "can't set that field" and fails on this line of
cd fld "subjectListing":

 put line lineNum of tempList into line lineNum of bkgnd field "theList"

I'm using HyperCard 1.2.5 on an SE/30, if that's any help.

Does anyone have any ideas?

My second question re: the TNS is: does it include the full text of all TN's up
until now?  That is, are the TN's abridged in any way?

Robert
