  statements

end deleteCard

HyperCard sends the deleteCard message to a card that is being deleted just before the card disappears.

Note: You cannot stop a card from being deleted by trapping the deleteCard message. Instead, you must handle the doMenu message or set the cantDelete property for the card.
