- I have a stack where I'd like the cursor to be flashing in a field,
- and the start-up of a stack. I've done this successfully before,
- but am having trouble this time. I've used
-
- on openStack
- select line 1 of cd fld "myField"
- end openStack
-
- as well as "click at the loc of cd fld "myField". The stack opens
- HyperCard and itself, then I see the cursor blink, but only for a
- second, then it disappears. I've tried typing afterwards, and get
- a beep, indicating that the cursor is not in that field. If I press
- the tab key, it then blinks in the field (but scripting this by
- "type tab" does not work.) The interesting thing is that if I open
- this stack from another stack, it works correctly. I've run message
- watcher and variable watcher, but don't see anything of interest. The
- stack has very little else in it at this point, and I've commented out
- just about everything--to no avail. Hints?
