Thanks for your help! Indeed, the using Apply and OK buttons seems like a workaround. However, I do not think that this is *my* problem. If a dialog gives me the option to save a script and I respond "yes", then saving the script what is supposed to happen. Everything else is a bug, a very bad bug in this case. Here is another one: At least under Mac OS X, 10.2.2, try this: (1) Create a new stack (2) Choose "Save" from the file menu (3) Specify a file name with an "Umlaut" (�, �, � all work, I have not tried other non-ASCII characters) (4) Click "Save" (5) Quit MetaCard MetaCard will quit happily, but nothing will have been saved! Hours of work could have gone down the drain! I hope this will be fixed in the next release. Similarly, try this: (1) Save a stack of your choice. (2) Change the file name to something that includes an Umlaut (3) Quit MetaCard. (4) Double-click the file who�s name includes the Umlaut (5) MetaCard will crash on launch! (6) Change the file name back to include only ASCII characters, and double-clicking it will launch MetaCard with no problem.
