 I'm new to HyperCard programming and have an application that I think should
be fairly easy to create, but I can't seem to find a way of doing it. I have
a file that contains some subject headers and articles. I'd like to read it
with Hyper Card and create a page of buttons one for each subject. Since I
don't know what these subjects will be a head of time, I'd like to create
buttons dynamically within a script, but I haven't found a way to do this.
 Any suggestions are welcomed.
       Thanks,
                 Jamii Corley
