I have encountered the following problem in one of my stacks. I run a FORTRAN program from within the stack. The program creates an output file (say it is called test.out). On returning to the stack, I attempt to read the output file. However the open file command creates another file in the same directory with exactly the same name i.e. test.out. On quitting Hypercard and reopening the stack, the output file is read without any problems. Some other commands do not work in a similar situation. e.g. the following script leaves the global variable PathName unaffected: global Pathname put "Sele.out" after Pathname This strange behavior only occurs after the FORTRAN program is run and control is returned to the Hypercard stack. I will be extremely grateful if anyone can explain this behavior and help me to rectify it. Thanks Nilanjan mecegy@jane.uh.edu
