Dear HyperCard Pros,

I have an assignment to write a simple Turing Machine "adder" in HyperTalk.

All I need it to do is search a tape( in my case a series of fields ) and
identify 1s 0s and blanks. 

How do I get it to search fields sequentially.  Basically I need a command like

Go to the field on your left

Except I need it in HyperTalk!

Does anyone understand what I mean? Does anyone have any suggestions 
on how to go about solving my problem?

Thanks is advance,

Ben WIener
