I have both MPW and Turbo Pascal. For short jobs, I prefer to use Turbo. I bought the Hypercard programming package from APDA for MPW. As I understand, an XCMD/XFCN is some code stored in a resource of the same name. How can I use Turbo Pascal and the Hypercard toolkit from APDA to generate XCMDs/XFCNs. Short code sections would be appreciated. Dave Nowak djnowak@iseesun.DPL.SCG.HAC.COM

The XCMD sources as shipped from APDA are for MPW Pascal and C. Turbo Pascal is reasonably close to MPW Pascal and using the standard MPW files should be OK. The main thing will be to set the resource type of this XCMD that you are building in Turbo, and then ResEditing it into HyperCard. If you have MPW, I would recommend doing it all in MPW because you can automate the build of non-code resources much easier than you can in Turbo. If you get stuck, let me know.
