lockRecent

set [the] lockRecent to trueOrFalse

The lockRecent property returns or sets whether HyperCard displays miniature pictures for the last 42 cards visited by the user (or a handler) in the Recent card dialog box. (LockRecent does not affect the trail of cards you can go back to.)

The default setting is false, meaning HyperCard does display miniature pictures of the cards visited.

Setting lockRecent to true speeds up scripts that go to cards.

HyperCard sets lockRecent to false on idle.


Examples

set the lockRecent to true

Placeholders
