No dialog box on answer command

it with answer question instead of just answer: same thing. It does this on my Mac running 9.1 and on my kid's Windows running Millennia. What is going on here? Thanks for any help. Dave = Dr. David Frank Professor of Chemistry California State University, Fresno Tel: 559-278

File listing

Getting a list of the files in the same directory as the running standalone, via a script, is a snap (get the files). How could I get a listing of the files in a different directory? I've tried the obvious (get the files of directoryPath, get the files of directory xxx, etc.) Thanks, Dave --

Metacard cgi feedback

I am using Robert Brenstein's excellent Mac cgi MC script, tweaked so that it will post student homework grades to my Mac server. It works well, but I am lost on how to have the client MC script pick up the cgifeedbackreply that the cgi produces after posting. If I post to the cgi from a real

Weird cursor and Print Problems

Creating cursor

OK, I give up. I am trying to create a new cursor. I created a gif file of the small shape that is to be my cursor. I imported the gif as an image into the cursors stack, calling it grabbed. The imported image had an id of 1025, so I set the id of the imported image to 27. I saved the cursors

configuration file

I am using Machttp as the Web server, trying to get Metacard's survey.mt script to run in the cgi-bin folder, which also contains the Metacard Mac application. On the client side I've downloaded the Survey stack, and have edited the script of the Post button to my URL. What comes back to the
