 I have used this handler for  opening stacks on a server. I think it 
coul'd be modified to open a text file


on busystack thestack     
  put 0 into counter
  go stack thestack without dialog
  if the result is "Can't open stack" then
    repeat
      add 1 to counter
      if counter mod 32 = 0 then
        put counter div 16 into mi
        Answer "You have been waiting " & mi && "minutes" & Return & 
        "Do you want to continue?" With "Cancel" or "Yes"
        if it is "Cancel" then exit to hypercard
      end if
      put "You are waiting for " & thestack
      wait 4 secs
      go stack thestack without dialog
      if the result is "Can't open stack" then
        next repeat
      else
      put empty into msg
      hide msg
      exit repeat
      end if
    end repeat
  end if
  if the result is "No such stack" then
    answer file "Where is " & thestack
    if it is empty then exit to hypercard
    put it into thestack
    go stack thestack
  end if
end busystack

Subject: Using QTime in Hypercard
Date: Sun, 11 Oct 92 17:18:48 GMT
Organization: The University of Calgary, Alberta

I would like to use QT movies in a Hypercard in the following
way.

	on opencard
	<command>
	<command>
	QTime movie open/close
	<command>
	<command>
	QTime movie open/close
	<command>
	"
	"
	end opencard

In other words I want script to execute, a movie to run, script
to execute, run a movie etc.

What happens is that the QT movie opens runs for a few seconds,
stops, and the Hypercard script resumes, leaving the movie hung
on the card.

Is there a way to run multiple movies while the script is being
executed at the same time or in descending order?
This is running on a Quadra 700.

Suggestions would be appreciated.

i have a script that copies cards from one stack to another stack.  it
does this by going to the source card of the source stack, executing
a domenu "copy card" and then going to the destination stack, and then
executing a domenu "paste card."  when i timed the procedure, it takes

  At the moment I'm completely baffled. I have done some prototyping
  in HC and now I have three stacks, one main and two auxiliary stacks.
  Now what I tried to do was to send a message to all cards of the 
  stack to initialize some values. The other auxiliary stack consists
  of cards, where there are groups of three radio buttons (why have I
  not seen a way to group radio buttons. I'm shortsighted, perhaps
  that's why:-). Each radio button has script saying "on mouseUp hilite
  me and unhilite all others in the group" (in effect). I send "mouseUp"
  to one of the buttons in this group and what happens? One and a
  wrong button stays highlighted (the last one in the group).
  Moreover, the button seems to have forgotten its state so that
  it stays highlighted, whatever I do.
  Does anyone have an idea what I have done wrong (because some
  mistake I have done) and how to correct the situation?

I believe this process creates a new background for each new card pasted.
I had to merge a couple of stacks once and I wound up writing a script
to copy the data from each source card and then re-create the card in the
destination stack.

I've read with mixed emotions Claris' announcement of their new HyperCard
policy. One thing I'm very glad to see if it's true, however, is the ability
for developers to make stacks applications (finally!); that is, one can
make a stack so that a user can double-click on it without having to have
HyperCard itself or the HyperCard "player." 

But what do you think happens in stacks that call other stacks or when
multiple stacks are open in different windows at the same time? Is each
window a different MultiFinder application sending messages back and
forth? Does each have a different memory partition that it can't share
and all the HyperCard code duplicated? Not having an equivalent of
SuperCard's "projects," I wonder how HyperCard will handle these issues.
Any thoughts?

Err, well, sort of.  Claris supposedly owns the source to ResCopy 2.0 (which
Steve Maller wrote while at Apple), but the project to completely bring it
up to completion stalled.  There are some copies of "2.0b3" floating around
in various places in the world which work with HC2.1, but no "official" version.

David,

You could keep a variable containing the state of the menubar.
Try something like this:

on openstack
  global theMenuBarVisible
  show menubar
  put "true" into theMenuBarVisible 
  pass openstack
end openstack

then,

on mouseUp
  global theMenuBarVisible
  if theMenuBarVisible then
    hide menubar
    put "false" into theMenuBarVisible
  else
    show menubar
    put "true" into theMenuBarVisible
  end if
end mouseUp

A while back, I asked how one could transfer text from one hypercard

one could script a copy and paste procedure, and that a Rinaldi XCMD
Fulltext creates a global variable keeping textstyles.  Neither solutions
seems particularly effective.  I would like, for example, to fetch
text from another card without actually going there (e.g. fld "text" of
next card) which causes delay.  It would also be nice if the text could
be manipulated in a function and still keep each word's text style.
Finally, I would like to be able to export the text to a word document

I had a lot of trouble writing an XCMD like this.  Instead I use my
