Hello MetaCard'ers
I'll get right to the point........
First question: I am working on a stack with multiple, single-line text
entry fields. Catch is these fields MUST be single line only. I do not
want the cursor to go to next line when a return is hit; at best, I want
the cursor to simply go away until the user selects the next textfield
requiring data input. How do I not make a field contain multiple lines?
It appears that default for a field is multiple lines of text. I did
discover a "work around" : on returninField go to line 1 of this field
end returninField. I'm hoping someone can tell me that I can do away
with the work around!

Second question: This stack I am working on is full size. In other
words, it occupies the entire screen. Across the top is a menu bar and
the rest of the screen is a world map. The menu bar permits the user to
access various activites that I have made as different stacks. Each
menu selection appears in its own window. The user may have to interact
between the full screen menubar/map and the newly launched stack. The
problem is that once he returns focus to the full screen menubar/map the
other window gets buried behind the full screen. I need to figure out
how to have the stacks launched from my menubar stay on top. I have
tried adjusting my window manager, and even tried changing window
managers (fvwm, mwm) but MetaCard appears to override 'em all! I did
notice tho that the MetaCard Helps or References or Tutorials will
always stay on top....so apparently it can be done.....its just a matter
of knowing how?

Anyone happen to have any ideas on either?
