the stack is there. But go stack 'mystack.mc'
doesn't work. Is it possible to use go in an mt script?
Also, are there any other rules that one should keep in mind when
accessing stacks from a MetaCard cgi? Anything else that fails or needs
to be done differently?

Subject: Go stack
I have successfully installed darwin mc in OS X and have the echo.mt
script working. Now I'm trying to get an mt script to go to a stack and
find some information in it. The script fails at the go command. If I
change the script to say there is a stack 'mystack.mc' it returns
' it returns
true, so it knows the stack is there. But go stack 'mystack.mc'
doesn't work. Is it possible to use go in an mt script?

Whoops, I got it to work. Sorry. I found a typo.
But I still can't get a stack to search its own fields. Are field

yes.

I see. I would have thought that MC would recognize where the fields
were and their text, even if it wasn't bothering with

Thanks. What kind of stuff can it get?

I think that IS the case. So you probably have to work around that by using
offset or something else.
One other thing that doesn't apply to your problem right now but

In case this might interest anyone, I'm using on Linux a text editor
called Nedit (nedit.org) which also runs on OSX (might need to be
compiled tho) which I found particularly good for mt scripts since you
can configure it to execute a script after editing it without having to
open the terminal.

because I've done the stack-on-the-web thing in HC and I was looking for
similar behavior in MC, but I guess it isn't going to work.
Whoa. I accidentally did it -- it does work. :) Very cool. I didn't have
all the pieces together exactly right at any given

You might be able to set the defaultStack to the target stack and then use short
references - but I don't know for sure.
Whaddya know. You can. :)
1st. Is it possible to open or go to a Stack with a visual effect ?
How do I have to script it ?
2nd. Are visual effects displayed the same on Mac's (with QuickTime)
and Windows (without QuickTime).

Actually I have two questions and, of course, two requests for help. :)
I have a go stack it line in a standalone. It refers to another
standalone. It doesn't go to the second standalone. If the it variable points
to a stack which hasn't been converted to a standalone it works
