In the following steps we'll make some fields and a button to try sending an e-mail feature:

  1. Go to the Email card and create four fields. Name them To, CC, Subject, and Body.

  2. Make a button named Test.

  3. In the Test button, add this script:

    on mouseUp
      put field "To" into toText
      put field "CC" into ccText
      put field "Subject" into subjectText
      put field "Body" into bodyText
      revMail toText,ccText,subjectText,bodyText
    end mouseUp
  4. Select the Run tool and type in example information in each of the fields.

  5. After setting up the Standalone Application Settings… and selecting the Test Target, click on the Test button.
