answer Statement

Home Scripting Statements answer Statement

The answer statement shows a dialog box with a string as message text:

answer <expression>

The following are examples for answer statements:

answer "Hello"
answer x
answer "The final amount is " & field "Amount"

The answer statement of HyperCard is much more flexible than this and can also serve to ask the user for a value, but this is not yet implemented in MoStacks: There is no possibility yet to ask the user for a value in an interactive way.
