- truePrint
-
- truePrint lets you copy the card picture to the clipboard
- and, if you want, to print it.
-
- This allows you to print cards in color, although only
- at screen resolution and only if the card fits entirely
- onto your screen(s).
-
- truePrint requires HyperCard 2.1 or later.
- trueColor is not needed.
-
-
- How to use it
-
- ctrl-p: brings up a dialog that lets you choose
- whether to copy only or to print
- ctrl-opt-p: copy card without dialog
- ctrl-shift-p: copy&print card without dialogs
-
- If you have trueColor, these keys will work right
- away; otherwise you will have to make sure that
- the stack truePrint is "in use".
-
- Just open it and the keys will work until you quit HyperCard.
-
- If you want to start using truePrint automatically, put
-
- start using stack "truePrint"
-
- into the startup handler of the script of your home stack.
