Is it possible to make a file in Mac OS 9 invisible without a special

If you're on OS9 one might assume that you'll have access using to Hypercard
style externals...  I found this tidbit going back about 3 years -- maybe
it's an option:

Thanks Scott, I even have the Caliban externals around here somewhere, left over from my HC days. I'll give it a try. (I'm running OS X here, but I need to build for OS 9.)


What gets me is that Apple didn't include a native visibility command in AppleScript. Weird. And the other thing that gets me is that most of the OS 9 file flags can be set with "setResource" except for visibility. Hmph. Grumble.
