[comp.sys.mac.hypercard] 2 HyperTalk Questions

dnewman@ut-emx.UUCP (Dave Newman) (08/17/89)

Two Questions:
1: Can anXCMD be written that does not require the foo(x,y,z) syntax?
I'd like to write a sort routine that would usurp the existing sort
routine, but which would be as seamlessly integrated with hypertalk
as possible.  If this is possible, is there anything special that I 
have to do to get the arguments?  I've tried to do this, and it
seems to work only for one-argument XCMDs.  I may be missing something
obvious here, any advice is apprecciated.

2: There was a question on the net a while ago about finding the status
of the card stack. (i.e. the one that is altered by way of the push
and pop commands) But, I didn't see any answer.  Is there a way to find
out how deep the stack is?  I'd like to be able to pop all the cards off
the stack or test to see what cards are on the stack without poping them
all and re-pushing them. 

Thanks,

>>Dave
