[comp.sys.mac.hypercard] Need help with the "DeProtect" XCMD

jlc@atux01.UUCP (J. Collymore) (12/16/89)

I have been developing a stack that will allow a user to prtect it, or
deprotect it using the DeProtect XCMD (from AnalytX Developer's Stack vers.
1.2r released 6/10/88).

I tried incorporating it into a button script, and placing the full pathname
of the current stack (which is the one protected) into a variable for 
deprotect to use.  Well, nothing happens!  When I leave the stack and return to it, I still have to enter the password!  I've tried using the XCMD as
recommended but to no avail.  What can I do to make this work?

p.s.  I am using version 1.2.2 of HyperCard.

If it's the one Allan Foster and I cooked up a couple of years ago (10/87),
it doesn't work with HyperCard 1.2 and later versions -- the password scheme
changed, and we never tried to dope out the new scheme...
