Summary: lines in hypertalk are chars between cr's

In article <1555@cognos.UUCP> roberts@cognos.UUCP (Robert Stanley) writes:
(oops, I deleted his text).. that font changes would upset the
number of words on a line in hypercard fields, thereby confounding
programming attempts to look at what word the user might be clicking
or whatever. In fact, hypercard considers a "line" to be the chars
between carriage returns (or thebeginning and end of field text),
regardless of the word wrapped appearance of the text, so font changes
will not change the number or position of words in a line. It can
get confusing, however, if the user is entering text, and some end lines
with cr's, and other users allow word wrapping. In that case, it is probably
important to have separate fields designed to prevent such occurrences.
