Mark: Kindest thanks for your reference!
Alvaro: You may want to visit a scripting conferences stack by Ken Ray at http://downloads.runrev.com/section/scriptingconferences.php See also the "specialFolderPath" function via the Rev docs. I have a PDF on this as well: http://jperryl.ecs.fullerton.edu/FileIOHandout.pdf As Mark says, Hypercard's ability to save itself (that is, be self-modifying) is not supported in modern executables. But you can save settings to a text file on the stack's close and then read them back in upon a stack (that is, a file's) opening to set custom settings as far as I understand things. Everyone else: Should you still be reading, if you find anything gargantuanly stupid at http://jperryl.ecs.fullerton.edu/FileIOHandout.pdf , please do let me know! @;-) Judy On Sun, 28 May 2006, Mark Schonewille wrote: > Alvaro, > > Do you mean you created a standalone but can't save data in it?
