Thanks for your response, Andu.

I tried opening MC 2.4b1 on Mac OS 9 and created a new stack with a new 
button that had the following script:

on mouseUp
answer url "http://www.yahoo.com/";
end mouseUp

I waited a little bit and sure enough, an answer dialog popped up with 
yahoo.com. Great! So I tried "http://www.lycos.com/";. It just sat there for 
about 5 minutes, until I finally command-.'ed it. So I tried 
"http://www.runrev.com/"; Great! So I tried "http://www.yahoo.com/"; again. 
Again, it just sat there until I finally had to cancel it.

So it seems to work, sometimes..

So, I figured out the problem! It seems that it is now necessary to unload. 
(Maybe this was the case before, but I thought unload only applied to when 
using "load" and not "answer url" or "put url")

Well this solved a lot! I did 5 time trials between 2.4 and 2.3.2 and 2.4 
takes about 1.5 to 2 times as long to load some of the pages, but it seems 
to be operational.

However, I did the exact same procedures as above under Mac OS X, and got 
nothing, ever, so I'm guessing URL support isn't really implemented at all 
under Mac OS X at this point?

One thing that i do really like: putting a url no longer locks up MetaCard 
until it's complete!


Thanks,
Reed
