userModify

set [the] userModify to trueOrFalse The userModify property returns or sets whether the user can temporarily type into fields, use the Paint tools, and move or delete objects in a locked stack.

HyperCard discards any changes made by the user or a handler when it leaves the card, although a handler can record the changes and save them to another stack or file.

The userModify is set to false when the user changes stacks or quits HyperCard.

Note: userModify has no effect on an unlocked stack.
