Sure:

ask file "Save text where?" with "mytextfile"
if it is not empty then
  open file it
  write fld 1 to file it
  write return&"=================="&return to file it
  write fld 7 of cd "Notes" to file it
  close file it

I have learned that handlers can also return values via "the result" --
e.g.,

on whateverHandler
	... all sorts of processing here ...
	return "dada"
end whateverHandler

on someOtherHandler
	... other processing here...
	whateverHandler
	if the result is "dada" then ....
	... etc. etc.
end someotherHandler

I can't find anything in the Hypertalk Reference, and I don't want to write a

Check Sumex-Aim.Stanford.EDU in the file:

I'm not so sure I'd give such a glowing report concerning WindowScript.
I've certainly experienced my fair share of serious BUGS with that
product. It's worth its purchase price as an aid to building fancy
Dialogs, but certainly it's no color "Front End" to HyperCard.

ColorizeHC works well and the price is right (NIL)

Most of the bugs (and they were major) went away with the upgrade, but
you are right, it could be more stable.

As for being "no color 'front end' to HyperCard", you are also correct.
WindowScript bypasses so many of HyperCard's dificiencies that HyperCard
is more of a back end to WindowScript. I have not used any HyperCard
cards for months and generall hide my stack so that all you see are
window script windows.

>ColorizeHC works well and the price is right (NIL)

If you don't mind waiting 3 seconds for every card to come up.

For those that have not seen WindowScript:
Maker: Heizer software
Cost: ~$100
Current Version: 1.0.1
System Requirements: HyperCard 2.x, 2Mb of RAM, color quickDraw iff you want
to use QuickTime.
Abilities:
Window Script is an XCMD that lets you create color external windows, windoids,
and dialogs for hyperCard. It includes predefined objects which are trivially
included into these windows, such as lists, quick time movies, picts, buttons,
pop-up menus, icons, display text, editable text, controls, etc.

Each of these objects can hold scripts.

Each type of object also comes with various properties (like font size, text,
rect, etc) which can be set and reset from hyperCard. For example, the list
object has a property which sets how items in the list are selected (single,
range, etc).

Color is no problem for WindowScript.  Since it can display PICTs as part or
all of the window, it can support millions of colors at once.

I highly endorse this product for use in what HyperCard is best at: quickly
prototyping software before writing it in a real language.

Don't.  Fonts in stacks cause many things to break when you print.  If you
don't print you can probably get away with it, but the bother is too great.
 Don't do it.

Fonts in stacks also cause heap corruption leading to crashes.  Bad juju.

Include the fonts with your stack and have the user install them.  Use a
script that checks for them and remind the user to install them if they are
not present.  Don't refuse to run though.  Let the user decide if it should
look ugly, but feel free to warn them.

One either one of the Developer's CD or the QuickTime CD is a stack that
can be used to make QuickTime movies using any standard VDIG capable
video capture card. You must download the VideoSpigot VDIG (also the same
file you need to get the VideoSpigot to work with MovieRecorder and other
Apple QuickTime Starter Kit programs) to get that to work.

I don't know if the Apple stack is available to send out...nor have i seen
it in a little bit...but it doesn exist and it has the XCMDs needed to capture
movies.

This happens after 20 menuMessages have been added.

A good workaround for this is to trap for doMenu, and not use menuMessages.

Is there a way to dump the contents of a hypercard stack into
a form usable by another program?

Here's the basic scenario:  I've got a bunch of old notes, etc. that
I'd like to organize using hypercard, much as one might organize a bunch
of note cards in a shoebox, for example.  When I'm done with that, I'd
like to be able to take the contents of that stack and run it through
a word-processing program to clean it up, format it, etc. -- without
having to type the whole @#$% mess over again.

Anyone know of a way to do this?  Is this a dumb idea?

The best treatment I've seen so far of this sort of thing are the Voyager
Expanded Books.  If you haven't seen these, you should pop out and buy a few
of them--they're really well-done.  They're essentially electronicizations of
popular novels, including Michael Crighton's _Jurassic Park_, Adams's _Hitch-
hiker's Guide to the Galaxy_, and so forth.

They do exactly the sort of things you're describing here; I'd commend you to
check them out before getting involved in such a project.

Good luck!

I was thinking about new and nifty ways of presenting the University of
Waterloo's Faculty of Mathematics to applicants.  Since students *love*
to read, I thought that an interactive, pictorial medium may be the best
way to hold their attention.  I have a Mac and have seen some great
Hypercard applications, and since many high schools are equipped with
Macs, Hypercard seems to be a reasonable choice.  I do have a few
questions, and I hope that someone in this group will help me.  I'd like
to apologize in advance if any of my questions are really stupid. ;-)

1.  Is hypercard downward compatible?  I have version 2.? on System 7.

2.  I would hate to think that all this work would be inaccessible 
    to schools that only have DOS machines.  With this in mind,
    would I be able to convert it to a DOS machine?  Or should I develop
    it in the DOS environment and then convert it to the Mac?
    Any suggestions?

3.  Is colour a possibility?  Would this affect conversions to/from DOS?

4.  I read something in this newsgroup about compiling applications.  
    Doesn't locking the application prevent modifications?

If you think of anything that I should know, please feel free to e-mail me.
Also, I would appreciate any recommendations for further reference.

Thanks a lot!
Karen.

Subject: What's max window size in HC 2.1?
Organization: student@byu

I recently tried to resize my stack window (via Objects/Stack Info menu)
to take advantage of my portrait monitor, but found that instead of giving
me a wonderfully large window, it shrunk the window to standard Mac size
and gave me the "Scroll" control palette.

Can I get portrait size windows?  Or, am I doomed to some fixed size limits?

Thanks in advance,
Todd
