----------------------------Original message----------------------------
I have been asked to post the HyperCard script I mentioned last week
for forcing people to stay in HyperCard on your Reference Desk
Macintoshes. NOTE 1: This assumes that you have your computer
configured to automatically startup with HyperCard. NOTE 2: This
can be circumvented by starting up from a floppy. NOTE 3: This
script should be placed at the stack level in your HyperCard
Home stack. To be doubly sure, you could put it in all your HyperCard
stacks on the drive (at the stack level). NOTE 4: In the third
line of the script, replace the word "password" with your own
password (spaces, punctuation, whatever, all allowable).
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Script:
on doMenu theItem, theMenu
if theItem is "Quit HyperCard" then ask "Enter your password:"
if it is "password" then pass doMenu
else
answer "Sorry, you can't quit now." with "Cancel"
end if
end doMenu
