[comp.sys.mac.hypercard] Creating new Stacks from a Script

cayz@udel.EDU (James Cayz) (05/24/89)

Howdy All,

	I am trying to help a fellow lab worker with a problem in Hypercard
1.2.2 .  We want to create a new stack, copying the current background.  We
know the new name, as well as the full pathname.  However, we want to do 
this from within a script, without the user getting the standard dialog box,
where, as we all know, the user could mess things up :-)...

	So, does anyone have / know of a nice XFCN / XCMD that takes a
filename, and maybe a flag for background copy, and creates a new stack,
with no user intervention????  Or have we missed something, and it is doable
from HyperTalk itself??????

	Please send replies directly to me - I'll post summary if people ask.

						Thanx in Advance,
						James Cayz
