[comp.sys.mac.hypercard] Need result of Save a Copy...

OK guys and gals, here's a problem.

We need to execute a doMenu "Save a Copy..." from a script, this is easy.
But we need to know the pathname of the copy typed by the user. 

I see two possible solutions:

a magical incantaion to get Hypercard to tell us the name specified  (Wouldn't
it be nice if "the result" in general contained this type of information.

An XCMDD to copy files used in conjunction with the NewFileName XFCN, to sim-
ulate domenu "Save a Copy..."


Anyone out there able to provide a solution will be eternally worshipped.

Thanks,

Josh
