Hi Adrian,
if the script in your email is exactly what you are using, then you need to move the function declaration outside of the mouseup handler. I don't think that these things can be nested.

- - -
FUNCTION getPathToFile pFile
    put the filename of this stack into the theFile
    set the itemdelimiter to slash
    put pFile into the last item of theFile
    return theFile
end getPathToFile


on mouseUp
   start using stack "My App"

   put "MyPrettyFont.ttf" into myList
   removeFonts myList
   put the result into rslt
   if rslt is not empty then
        answer information rslt
   end if

   --To use:
   put getPathFile("My App.exe") into tFile
   launch tFile

stop using stack "My App" --(Ooops. Corrected literal 'May' here in my last message, this is not the problem)
end mouseUp

Phil,

Mouse up calls stack script to remove installed font and return
result. That already works.
When adding the FUNCTION code, the FUNCTION line keeps throwing up the
error.
I've followed all the advice everyone has given - I'm stumped.

stop using stack "My App"  --(Ooops. Corrected literal 'May' here in
my last message, this is not the problem)
end mouseUp

Does that help?

So... maybe we should start at the beginning. The object in which
the error occurred is apparently named "OK". What does the code of
that object look like?

Phil,
Already tried just 'end' - it gets the same error!

Hi Adrian,
at the end of the function definition, you only put "end" and the
name of the function - you don't include the parameter list.

Len or anyone else have an answer to this,

'end FUNCTION' gives the error:

Handler: error in command
Object    OK
Line        FUNCTION getPathToFile pFile
Hint        FUNCTION

I"m hoping Trevor won't mind me sharing this little snippet of
code:

FUNCTION getPathToFile pFile
put the filename of this stack into the theFile
set the itemdelimiter to slash
put pFile into the last item of theFile
return theFile
end FUNCTION getPathToFile

--To use:
put getPathFile("My App.exe") into tFile
launch tFile

That should do it.

len morgan

Ideas?
Thanks,
Adrian
