You could add a handler to your home stack that does something similar
to Hypercard's "searchscript" handler; only it could be simpler than
that one:
on changeScripts pOldValue, pNewValue
-- stack script
get the script of this stack
replace pOldValue with pNewValue in it
set the script of this stack to it
-- card scripts
put (the number of cards) into xMax
repeat with x = 1 to xMax
get the script of this card
replace pOldValue with pNewValue in it
set the script of this card to it
-- control scripts
put (the number of controls) into yMax
repeat with y = 1 to xMax
get the script of control y
replace pOldValue with pNewValue in it
set the script of control y to it
end repeat
end repeat
beep
end changeScripts
(DISCLAIMER: You're on your own if you use this script. I ain't
'sponsible for any destruction it may cause!)
You can probably improve on this example.
You could make sure the desired stack is the defaultStack and then run
this script (or a better one) from the message box.
