There is one easy way to get around ANY executing script, even a "DoMenu" handler: Command Period. Dan Allen Apple Computer

But unless I'm missing something, it won't help you circumvent the following: The userlevel is set to browse. The message box is hidden. The only way you can raise the userlevel, and thus gain any control over the stack, is to type the needed HyperTalk commands into the message box. But if the "Message" menu command (which includes Command-M) is trapped by a domenu handler, you can't get the message box. You are effectively locked out of making any changes to the stack.

The menuhandler used in protected stacks usually is located in the background or at the stack level. I once made a small stack to patch this sort of scripts. Basically, one button fetches the script and puts it in a scrollable field where you can edit it. A second button puts the changed script back in place. The button scripts are something like: (I havenUt been hypering since long, so it's pseudo-hypertalk at best 8). --the fetch button: on mouseup push card get the script of stack TargetStack --use SFfile XCMD to get it pop card put it into card field EditMe end mouseup --the restore button: on mouseup get card field Editme push card put it into stack TargetStack pop card end mouseup Hope this is of some sort of help to ya.

On a chalange from a friend who has written a very nice stack,which he thought was locked up tight...... I used MacTools to edit the data fork of the stack. for further info Email to me or call (207)774-8522 for obvious reasons only use MacTools on copies.
