Howdy,
     I'm trying to get inverted text (i.e. white text on a black background)
to print at higher than 72 dpi using HC 2.0v2.  The only method I can think of
is to overlay a field with a transparent button whose 'hilite' property is set
to true.  Unfortunately, it appears that if you print a card that has a
hilighted button anywhere on the card (whether it overlays a field or not),
the entire card is printed as a bitmap.
     Is there some other approach I can use?  Or am I asking too much of
HyperCard?
