First, let me say to all the apple people out there how much I enjoy 2.0 It is a vast improvement. One curiosity however. I find that whenever my script calls for a dialog box (i.e. "type o with commankey") the dialog box starts at its last level; not necessarity where you want it. Is there any way in hypertalk to manipulate the dialog box to display a predetermined level? One more question to the hypercard team, if I may. The new feature which allows for stack duplication with the dialog box is great for a system of interrelated stacks such as the one I've been working on. But how about going a step further and provide hypertalk features which allow for the creation of folders in the finder screen? Is there any way I can do this now with an XCMD? Thanks for your help. --D. Herlihy

There are XCMDs which will setFolder (Boojum Computer Ssystems via APDA) to a certain level. I think that will do what you want. Also, as a suggestion, I recommend using answer file and ask file rather than emulating keyboard commands via the type command.You can also use the Save As command to make copys of stacks under script control.
