- From Dan Shafer
-
- The following list represents known "bugs" or typos in my book,
- "HyperTalk Programming," first printing. If you have a copy of the
- first printing, you can make these changes directly to the text. These
- have all been corrected in the Second Printing, however.
-
- p. 114 - Remove the word "the" from lines 9, 12 and 15 of the
- handler at the top of the page (if optionStatus is down....)
-
- p. 140 - In the two handlers at the top of that page, "repeat for"
- should be "repeat with"
-
- p. 145 - In both handlers, change "repeat for" to "repeat with". Also,
- there is a space between "down" and "to", not "downTo" but "down
- to".
-
- p.155 - First sentence should be edited to read: "This command will
- find the "end" in the words blender and weekend as well as in
- ending."
-
- p. 182 - third line from the bottom of the handler. Change "3 to 67"
- to "3 to 7"
-
- p. 223 - First line of first full paragraph; change 18 other tools to 15
- other tools
-
- p. 243 - Last line of list of instructions in the lab (beginning with
- "choose rectangle tool"), change "click at 50,50" to "click at 151,151"
-
- p. 265 - the last sentence before the last full paragraph on the page
- which starts "You cannot concatenate" should be changed: "You can
- even concatenate these numbers to make larger numbers (i.e., one
- and three combine to make 13)."
-
- p. 268 - at Step 2 in lab, change "evaluate" to "value".
-
- p. 270 - line below "8 + 45" should be changed to read: "all by itself
- on a line in a HyperTalk script or in a field makes no sense." (It does,
- as it turns out, make sense in the Message Box.)
-
- p. 302 - Table 17-1. "rect[angle]" is read-only for windows, but
- read-write for buttons and fields.
-
- p. 313 - Item numbered 3. Change "get" to "put"
-
- p. 315 - Delete third line of handler that refers to variable r2.
-
- p. 326 - Delete last sentence in second paragraph under "autoHilite
- Property." (This property does affect radio buttons and check boxes;
- it causes them to turn "on" and "off" when clicked.)
-
- p. 329 - second line from the bottom of the first paragraph, delete
- "the dialog box".
-
- p. 351 - delete second line of handler at bottom of page (it does no
- harm but it has no effect).
-
- p. 352 - delete second line of handler at top of page (it does no harm
- but it has no effect).
-
- p. 380 - Second line above figure, change "cursor has ID" to "icon has
- ID". Change caption to read "An icon has a resource number."
-
- p. 408 - delete the funny character at the end of the first line of
- code.
-
- p. 444 - Wrong figure is in place. No harm but can be confusing.
-
- p. 483 - handler for Card #2, Button #2, Repeat Forever". Insert "&
- return" after "end repeat" in current line. It should read: put return
- & return & "end repeat" & return after holder
-
- p. 487 - last handler on page, change "global effect" in third line from
- bottom to "visual effect."
-
- p. 491 - Two fixes. In first handler on page, put space after "to" and
- before "15" in the fourth line. In second full handler, change "scroll"
- in third line to "wipe."
-
- p. 492 - First handler needs new first line, "global holder".
