I have a stack written for hypercard 1.x. I now have converted it to 2.0 and need to add something else. I have text fields that give info. In these text fields are all capitalized words, like WORD, and I want to make a button out of that word to get more info on that part of it. I tried replacing the word part with blanks in the field, and putting a button with that word in its place. But the button doesn't show up. I think in 1.2 you can't have a button in a field. Is there a way to do it in 2.0? Thanks for any help. -- Steve Brailsford Usenet: uunet!media!vitro!fsb Vitro Corporation Compu$erve: 73427,1466 14000 Georgia Ave. Voice: (301) 231-1481 Silver Spring, MD 20906
