Handler:

on deleteField

end deleteField
HyperCard sends the deleteField message to a field that is being deleted just before the field disappears.

Note: You cannot stop a field from being deleted by trapping the deleteField message. Instead, you must handle the doMenu message.


Placeholders

Any return-separated list of built-in commands, user-defined handlers, or keywords that are part of a message or function handler.

put "Hello world"   -- built-in command
get total(field 1)  -- function call
