newCard

Handler:

on newCard
   statements
end newCard

HyperCard sends the newCard message to the current card (in this case, the new one) just after HyperCard creates it.

Although the new card will not have a script with which to respond to the message, any other object along the message-passing path can handle it.

Placeholders

statements
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
global HelpInfo     -- keyword
