METACARD ACQUIRED BY RUN REV!!!

I know some slipped thru the cracks, as initially I chose Helvetica 
as the default, only to discover it was not very consistent on the 
platforms, so I switched to Arial for most text, and occasionally 
Verdana.  They seem to be pretty consistent from platform to 
platform.  I do set a default for the stack at the very least.  But I 
didn't initially.  Created a bit of anarchy there for a moment.

The good news is that as soon as I come back from vacation (the 
Shareware Industry Conference just happens to be in my hometown.... 
:-) I will be back to work on my favorite project, and can put to 
good use all I've learned from porting two into MC from HC and 
writing one from the ground up in MC.

One anomaly I've found is that sometimes when I'm setting colors for 
things, all of Metacard suddenly becomes colored, and nothing fixes 
it but a quit/relaunch.  Anybody else experience this?

I wonder if I should bombard Kevin with the anomalies I've had to 
find workarounds for... such as random(0) = 1, and that the Mac 
menubar won't update when you hide/show btns in it, unless you click 
outside the stack and back in... I had to come up with a really 
klutzy workaround for that one.  Or that sometimes front/backscripts 
disappear, presumably something in a MC written handler resets them, 
deleting mine.  So on resume stack, I have to reset them.... or that 
Hypercard soundchannels (without a player object) would be nice...

Maybe I'll let him catch his breath first :-)
