Search paths are what's > required to find stacks on a certain computer. Alain: Why are you both assuming that i was talking about bookmarks?? I was indeed talking about search paths. Anthony was suggesting that my approach of having OpenKard manage the search paths internally would make the Applications, Documents and Stacks non-accessible to the user for customization. In response, i suggested some new OpenTalk syntax that would allow the user to customize search paths, despite the fact that they are handled internally. This new OpenTalk syntax was inspired from AppleScript's favorites feature, but my spin has nothing to do with MacOS favorites or with Web bookmarks. > Domenu relies on the name of the menu item. > What about localized versions of OpenCard? Alain: I have scripted HyperTalk in French in my time, so here is how it works: The English menus and menuItems are always available to a script, despite the fact that they may not be present in your French menubar. French menuItems are converted to their English equivalents by HC's Translator Interface BEFORE they are interpreted by HyperCard. Same goes for anything typed into the message box. You activate all of this by setting the language property of HyperCard to the name of a WTRN resource. In my case, the WTRN resource's name was "French" and it mainly contained English<-->French string substitutions. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
