Sure -- here's a quick and dirty option...
Create a graphic suitably sized for dragging the bottom right corner of the
palette. Place the following script in the grc.
on mouseDown
global gAllowResize
Is there no way to create a *resizable* floating window? This is
really what my application calls for, yet none of the stack modes
seem to support this. I'm assuming it's because a palette-type
window isn't modifiable. Does anyone know of a workaround?
Many thanks,
Craig

yes, of course that works, but you have to put it into every object.

I've noticed something strange regarding minWidth and maxWidth stack
settings. On the Mac, a stack with both minWidth and maxWidth set
to, say, 260 pixels will change to 259 pixels if you resize the
window manually, but will snap back to 260 if you click the zoom box.
I see there's a note abo
I did find the utility I whacked together last spring. It was written

Hi, Craig. I wrote one about a year ago. I'll dig around and see if it
survived the massive hard drive(s) failure (yes, plural) of last spring.
It worked well on Windows 95, but I hadn't used it on the Mac yet.

Try this:
open file "../B1/theText.txt"
The first element of the relative path (the part that appears to the
left of the first "/") must be one of these (if there are other
possibilities I don't know what they are):

Does anyone know of a script extracting utility like John Perry's SC
Phlebotomy project for MetaCard? I was starting down the road of
writing my own, but I figured I should ask to see if I'm re-inventing
the wheel.

If I have a folder (A1) containing two folders (B1 & B2) and my MC program in
folder B1 wants to look for a file in folder B2, can a *relative* path be
written to go from folder B1 to B2?
For example, if my MC program "myProgram.exe" is in file B1 and I want to
read a text file "theText.txt"

In the Concepts stack it says we can "also use images as containers and put
data in them
put myGifdata into image "someImage"
this doesn't seem to be the same as setting the fileName property of the
image?
I tried this, as a test to change the image by script
put "ht/Images/theGif.GIF" int
