<field descriptor> is a litteral string containing any valid field descriptor (even lying on another card than current one). Don't forget to enclose it in quotes, in order for it not to be interpreted by HyperCard when the XCMD is called. If you want to use the field name, you will use :
<current attributes> and <new attributes> define the current and new text attributes. They can contain a single attribute, or any combination of the three allowed (font, style, size) separated by semicolon (since style uses commas as separator). The order of the attributes must be the same in both parameters, their type is automatically recognized by the XCMD:
font is the name of any installed font
style can be plain, or any combination of bold, italic, outline, underline, shadow, condense, extend, grouped separated by comma.
size is an integer > 0
<start char> and <end char> are two optional integers, defining the starting and ending target characters of the field.
Using "!", "?" and "=" as first parameter will return an online help (resp. copyright, syntax and output).
USING
The XCMD changes the style of text contained in the designed field.
