Revolution Hypercard cellophane color

[FMoyer at aol.com]

Thanks, Mark. Maybe I don't know how to use it, but when I set the ink of the 
graphic to blend, the colors underneath blend with the color of the graphic. 
That's not what happens in Hypercard. In Hypercard, the color of the top 
object trumps everything underneath unless what is underneath is black. Any other 
color is completely obliterated. There is no blending. So blue over a white 
background remains blue. With "blend" in Revolution, I believe blue over a white 
background becomes light blue. 

Perhaps there is something that I don't understand about blend.

Thanks.
Fred
