Putting 'get the result' at the end of the netrequest handler should do, unless something else disrupts the 'it' variable after the call to netrequest. I just hacked up this set of card/button scripts which work:

-- card script
on netrequest tData, tComp
  return "this" && tData && tComp
  get the result -- place the result in it
end netrequest

-- btn script
on mouseup
  netrequest "some data", "some computer"
  --get the result -- placed in the script in card script instead
  answer it
end mouseup

case. Putting get the result below the line where I call for the netrequest will work, but it would be extremely difficult to do because it is located in odd places all over in more than 40 stacks. Right now I am thinking of making a stack that will do it for me, but I was hoping there was an easier
way.

I just made a giant switch from Hypercard to Revolution. In Hypercard networking we used "request thedata from program theComputer" to request data from across an appletalk network. In Revolution this didn't work
anymore so we made a new command, "Netrequest" that serves the same
function.  "netrequest thedata,theComputer"  The problem is that in
Hypercard put the data into the it variable when it is done. Without
changing the script in the card where it initiates the netrequest
command
(such as in the card or a button), can I add something the to stack
script
where the command is contained so it puts the result into the it
variable?


netrequest thedata,theComputer
get the result
-- "it" will now contain whatever was returned from the netrequest
handler.
