Here is an instance of really bad behavior of MetaCard, and I wonder
whether anyone knows a solution.
(1) I close a stack script.
This is your problem, I think, you close the script editor from the close
box in the title bar. You should close the script editor from the OK button

By any chance do you have a copy of the config file you used to
I hope this will be fixed in the next release.
Weird!
In fact, there is a handler which deals with the stackname (doSaveAs):
(MC MenuBar)
=
function MCfixpath shortname
local sname
put tolower(shortname) .mc into sname
repeat with c = 1 to the length of sname

In the first of my two apps, I have an index of documents which can be

first app.

As far as communicating between processes I have used Win32 named pipes.
Reading and writing are very similar if not identical to reading/writing a

One question remains unanswered: Why the stigma against polling? I mean,
of course it's suboptimal compared to event-driven mechanisms like Apple
events, but in the absence of a supported event mechanism is polling
really
so very bad?
Polling isn't necessarily so bad. I have to think

I think this in general is an under-appreciated and under-explored

Actually, with MC, polling can be clean and very easy to implement via the
send command. At the beginning of your program you send a message that
will execute in 1 second. Set up a handler for that message to do the poll
and at the end of that routine issue a send

By directory polling, do you mean checking the existence of a file
rather
than its contents? That's the approach I took, much faster than always
accessing the file.
Cool! I would guess that would avoid locking problems, too.

I've avoided this technique simply because I've never been able to figure
how to account for a crashed process and a leftover file. If your app
crashes (rare, I know) and your temporary file is still present, how do
you
distinguish between current file versus a leftover?
Simple. Write the

comments, either privately or to the list.
Simple. Write the milliseconds into the file. Then, when the app launches,
grab the milliseconds as its "launch date". When it goes to look in the
folder, it will read in the "leftover" file, but because the milliseconds in
the leftover is *earlier* than the launch date, it is ignored. It will

If the default text size of the field is smaller than the imported

John,
There are some subtle differences between MC and RR. You can of course
change the .rev to .mc and some will work...but others won't. There are some
custom commands and libraries in RR that don't exist in MC, and I suppose
the reverse is true as well. If it doesn't seem to work in MC,
