This could turn into an incredibly powerful tool for the computer-phobic faculty and administrators on campus - BUT I can't figure out how to get HyperCard to recognize a and pass it to the mainframe. Without that, the whole thing is probably useless. HyperCard treats a field or message box with in it as empty. My question is -- How can get this to work? Maybe via NumToChar or something? Any help would be greatly appreciated. PS I'm dealing with 1.2.5, but hopefully version 2.0 will come my way soon. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Ed Gibler University of Houston ENGLFZ@JETSON.uh.edu English Computer Writing Lab ---------------------------------------------------------------------
