Using SuperCard

Projects come in all shapes and sizes but there are common elements which users are accustomed to.

So arrow shaped buttons are normal for navigation back and forth through the cards of a project, and fields are the normal containers for text.

Buttons often have icons that indicate the kind of activity they are associated with, so a button with a printer icon would be expected to print something

Menus

Along the top of the screen is the SuperCard menubar. Users can use the items in the each menu to do many things including navigation, making new cards, or fields or buttons, drawing or painting, printing, opening other stacks etc.

Keyboard Commands To the right of each of the menu items in a menu are the keyboard commands for the same action. So to go to the final card in a stack you can type <Command 4> as above.

Just as buttons and fields can be made for specific purposes so can menus be added to the menubar.

Using Find SuperCard has very impressive searching abilities. When the find command is invoked by typing <command F>, the message box appears with a flashing cursor appearing after the word find.

If SuperCard finds the string typed between the quote marks it stops searching and draws a rectangle around the located text
