maybe the books we are using are brain damaged but... is there a way in HyperTalk to copy an entire stack (ie copy a file) in one operation. we have figured out how to do card by card copies, but that happens in roughly the age of the universe. please send answers directly to hoa@cpsvax.cps.msu.edu thanks in advance, ---jon--- ------------------------------------------------------------- Jon Sticklen Artificial Intelligence/Knoweldge Based Systems Group Computer Science Department Michigan State University East Lansing, MI 48824-1027 517-353-3711 -------------------------------------------------------------

re saving a copy of a stack
Try using the doMenu command. Something like the following
should work:
domenu "Save a Copy"
You'll have to look to make sure the name of the menu command
is right. This will save the stack as "Copy of foo" if the
original stack is named foo. You'll have to use an XCMD or
something if you want to rename the copy.

So you would do something like CopyFile source,dest if the result is not empty then put "Error copying file:" && the result exit <whatever> end if Problem is, it doesn't work yet (I just started writing it yesterday). If you would like, I can try posting it to info-mac or something when it gets done. --Mark
