Question...
I'm wondering which would be faster when downloading a stack from an
Internet server...
1. Using something like the ftp stack (ie, using ftp)
or
2. Using "downloadNGo" (and the corresponding "My Download Stack" substack)
already included in MetaCard.
I have not delved into downl

Ah, the power and glory of MetaTalk. Thanks for the reminder of these
useful extensions to xTalk.

FWIW, I believe I have had this problem with XCMDs in Metacard before too. I
don't have anything reproducable handy, but I believe the symptom was the
same- occasionally adding garbage onto the end of the return value from the
XCMD. I think it only affects certain XCMDs (thus I haven't seen it

One more point about plug-in MC vs local MC:
Using even a well-accepted plugin like QuickTime can be a hassle. I
have been experimenting with QT streaming video. First I waded
through the problems of creating different movie versions for
different environments. Then I discovered that QT sprites

Unfortunately not.
EXT allows text to be dragged between fields, but not within them as in
dragging list line 1 to

MetaCard does have a very good set of scriptable printing functions which
should allow you to print exactly as you wish (though you do have to spend
