This works:

1) Make a one-card stack that has a button and a field.

2) Put this handler in the button script:

on mouseUp
  load url
"http://members.home.net/phildavis/mc/test/joneslib2.mc.gz";
\
      with message "expandDownload"
end mouseUp


3) Put this handler in the card script:

on expandDownload pURL,pStatus
  put the params into fld 1
  go decompress(url pURL)
  unload url pURL
end expandDownload


4) Click the button!
