Introduction
------------
This month's definition of hack: it's little and it's black, but it's not a book, it's a hack. This is an example of how you can write an electronic phone directory using MicroPhone scripts and Dialoger Pro.
This issue's hack comes to us from Julie Glenn. A programmer for a NeXT developer in Oakland, California. When not designing software or fixing bugs, she likes to indulge in endless hours spent marvelling at the wonders which we call MicroPhone.
Hack of the Month
-----------------
BlackBook - this is a simple telephone book. It keeps the entries alphabetically sorted based on the first word of the name of the person. So, if you want things sorted by last name, enter your people last name first. This is a module you should put into your module folder.
Instructions - open any MicroPhone settings document. Create the following script:
Do Script "'Main','BlackBook'"
That's it.
Important Note
--------------
Hacks are not guaranteed to work, although there is no reason why they shouldn't work. Every care has been taken to make sure that they work on the hacker's machine, but they may do other things on your machine. Of course, if you encounter problems, you may feel free to tweak the hack to run on your machine.
