Handling a shutDownRequest message lets us interrupt the process of Quitting
Metacard in order to make sure things are properly saved. But on my Mac OS9.2
it does not appear that this message is generated if the user is in the Finder
and chooses Shut Down while Metacard is running in the
You could try trapping for the quit appleevent (which I think is
aevtquit or reqdquit), as in:
on appleEvent pClass,pID
if pClass pID = aevtquit then

else
pass appleEvent
end if
end appleEvent

What I'd really love is some sort of auto-complete for commands,
properties, functions, etc. At the very least for commands, once
you've typed a on as the first characters of a line in the script
editor, if common commands and messages could show up after that
like they do in Internet

Hi Shari, hi Glen,
...
I think auto-complete for commands etc. would be a very good idea. Just
include a preference to turn it on or off, then everyone can be happy.

YO :-)

get inserted into the middle of my handlers,
We can download stacks easily using the load command, followed by a go url
command once the file is cached.
However, if we want to transfer gzipped stacks we need some way to run the
url cache through the decompress function.
How can we accss the cache to alter it before using the go url

go stack decompress(url http://whatever.com/whatever.gz;)
How can that be used with the load command?

Personally I never liked the Cmd-M to insert on mouseup...end mouseup in a
script; several times I've needed to open the message box with a script open
and by habit typed Cmd-M only to have the mouseup handler inserted in the
middle of my code.

ftp://ftp.metacard.com/MetaCard/2.5/
See the file README.2.5 in that directory for the list of new
features.
For those who downloaded before this announcement, please check the
buildNumber to make sure that it returns 3, particularly on OS

I don't think so. Here I get a not a stack error, which seems logical
once I thought it through.
Hi Richard
It may be a problem on the compression side. I use a compressed stack as a
custom file format for one of my apps and I use:
-- saving
save stack tName as pSave
put compress(url

I appreciate your chiming in here, Monte. I'll double-check my code, but
the implications of your presumably functioning code example
above are quite
a change to my understanding of things: I can use raw data (from a valid
stack file, of course) instead of a stack descriptor with the go

Kind of cool, if it works.
Very cool if you write an app that needs to transfer data from one user's
version to another via email and want to save bandwidth. I didn't just come
up with the script off the top of my head I cut and pasted from the file
management library of my app. It works ;-)

I use this technique a lot so don't give up. Monte's point about
using compress on the binfile when making the compressed file may
be significant.
These are coming over the 'Net, and it seems the go url command faithfully
transfers binary files as such -- thanks to you and

If you're all lucky, i'll have the complete auto-insertion routine (all
