Is there a quick and efficient way to get the names of all members 
in a cast as a list? It seems there must be something better than 
looping through the cast, no?

Slava
here's a routine that will get that info for you
(I added a check for #empty)
note: the original routine only checked the first 1000 members & only 
operated on castlib #1.

on getNames castLibRef
  membernameList = []
  numMembers = the number of members of castLibRef
  repeat with i = 1 to numMembers
    thisOne = member(i, castLibRef)
    if thisOne.type <> #empty then
       membernameList.append(thisOne.name)
    end if
  end repeat
  return membernameList
end
