  12. Greetings to my follow scripters!  I want to thank those who responded to my
  13. general question regarding "sharedText" and provide a little more detail in
  14. the hopes of finding a solution.  
  15.  
  16. I'm using HyperCard as follows:
  17.  
  18.                         /Step1
  19.                            /
  20.             /Task1-------------------Step2
  21.                /               \
  22.               /                         \Step3
  23.                      /
  24.                     /                           /Step1
  25.                    /                           /
  26.           Module1--------Task2-------------------Step2
  27.                    \                           \
  28.                     \                           \Step3
  29.                      \
  30.                       \                         /Step1
  31.                        \                       /
  32.                         \Task3-------------------Step2
  33.                                                \
  34.                                                 \Step3
  35.  
  36.  
  37. Each Module calls its own set of Tasks and each Task calls its own set of 
  38. Steps.  The Module field works easily with the "sharedText" option, but I
  39. cannot figure out how to share the tasks with their respective Step cards.
  40. ie: Mod1Task2 field should share its text with Mod1Task2Step1, Mod1Task2Step2,
  41. and Mod1Task2Step3.  I'm using a clickLine in each field to goto or generate
  42. a new card.  Somebody help me, how do I get the Task field to share its text
  43. with its steps.  All help will be most greatly appreciated and I will respond
  44. either privately or publicly to all those interested.  Many thanks.
