Jeanne's HyperTalk Script of the Month

(OK, so it's turned out to be more like "Script of the Fiscal Quarter". I'll see what I can do about that....)

This page is a place for a few of my favorite code snippets and tools for scripting and stack creation. I've gotten an enormous amount, in knowledge, advice, and friendship, from the HyperCard community over the years, and this is a way of giving a little something back. From time to time, I might also put up pointers to cool and useful things I come across.

(Still) Coming Real Soon Now: HyperTalk QuickRef AppleGuide

April 1998	The SlickScripts Competition A guest script this fiscal quar- er, this month: presenting the winning entry in the HyperTalk mailing list's first SlickScripts competition, written by Jonathon Ashwell. The script powers a self-contained field that automatically indexes any stack it's pasted into.

October 1997	Find It Again, Sam A scripted Find (or any other command) that repeats when the user presses Return.
September 1997	Text Collector Palette A self-contained palette that implements an accumulative clipboard - copying and cutting text adds it to the Collector, instead of wiping out the previous contents. Demonstrates multi-line palette scripts, too.
