It rotates. One can only see a part of it at any given time and from any given vantage point. Which of course is a very oblique tip or suggestion I think probably the most important thing about HyperCard™ is that there seems to be something inherent-ly co-operative about it. I mention this because as we pursue the how of every-thing it is perhaps too easy to forget the why. The rest of the tips are about HOW. FOR EXAMPLE: THIS FIELD IS OVER SEVERAL LARGE BUTTONS. THEREFORE TO HIDE IT HIT SHIFT/COMMAND. OTHERWISE YOU WOULD HAVE A GOOD PROBABILITY OF HITTING ONE OF THE BUTTONS 'BEHIND' THIS FIELD. (THIS IS AN "ON IDLE" SCRIPT FOR THIS CARD.)
