It'sgoing pretty well, but there are a few little things I can't figure out,like how to enter text directly into a field rather than through the field'sproperties dialog ... But some things are much easier in RR than HC (thesearch and replace capability is wonderful).

Ric,
I agree with others who have posted replies. Get a good HC book and start
there. Probably the best book for complete newbies is Danny Goodman's "The
Complete HyperTalk Handbook". This book is great because it explains a lot
that is taken for granted in the RR documentation. Danny does a wonderful
job of explaining messages the message heirarchy, Objects, Handlers etc.
Another book I found extremely useful was "The Waite Group's Tips and Tricks
of the HyperTalk Masters". This is somewhat more advanced but has great
example code for a lot of different occasions.
Almost all of this information is relevant to RR and Transcript. There are
differences and these are explained very nicely in the RR docs.
Get a book, dive in and post questions here. The folks on this list are very
knowledgeble and patient as well.
Good luck.
Steve
