Moore) Organization: The Santa Cruz Operation, Inc. Lines: 11 What's the syntax for getting a field from a specific named card? I've tried 'put card field "language" of card "globals"' and several variants, but nothing seems to work. Is this even a useful thing to do, or should I just send a message to that card telling it to set a global variable to the value of that field? Thanks, -- James Moore jamesm@sco.com
