hide
The hide command removes HyperCard objects and elements from view.
hide menuBar removes the menu bar from the top of the screen.
hide titleBar removes the title bar on the card window.
Use both of these commands with care: hiding the menu bar, or the title bar of a window, may confuse your users.
The hide groups command removes the two-pixel gray underline displayed for all text that has the “group” text style. The underline appears only after a show groups command.
For graphics, the hide command removes the card or background picture from view. It’s the same as setting the showPict property of the card or background to false.
For buttons, fields, and windows, the hide command is equivalent to setting the visible property to false.
If you hide the frontmost document window, the next document window becomes active. Hide does not remove an external window from the window list (from memory); use the close command to dispose of the window.
