SignatureProxy

February 29, 1996

inherits from Stamp;

Class Description

The messages drawer of stamps in the new message scene includes two stamps for the user's signature, one for first name and one for full name. Before the user enters signatures, these spaces are represented by signature proxy stamps. When the user drops a signature proxy stamp onto a telecard, Magic Cap goes to the signature control panel so that the user can enter signatures. Magic Cap defines class SignatureProxy to represent signature proxy stamps.
