As a possible method to add the facility to have the development environment
open when a stack is opened directly, I thought that I could modify the
templatestack (from which all stacks are generated with create stack) to
include a preopenstack handler that automatically opened the home stack

All this time using Metacard and I just discovered the "create" command.
Metatalk never ceases to amaze me! And for those who haven't been aware of
it, check it out, especially former hypercardians (who, like me, probably
would have killed---well, something---for this command in hype

Despite knowing better (and when does that ever help for over-learned
responses?), I inevitably dbl-click on a stack to open it for further
editing/development as with hypercard stacks. Of course, that simply
launches the metacard engine (assuming it wasn't alreday opened) and opens

and spaces to format columns of text with different columns on subsequent
lines (so, "use tabs" isn't the answer here). I wrote a simple routine to
format numbers to fit that works fine for numbers *except* those with

It would seem more efficient to make a copy of mc.exe (called, say, mc.bup)
as a separate file, and then use:
put url "binfile:mc.bup" into url "binfile:c:/metacard player/mc.exe"
in the installer. As the file mc.exe is needed to run the installer, this
adds no overhead.
That way,

There are probably many reasons to purchase Metacard. I purchased Metacard
for two reasons: (1) *I* want a rapid, cross-platform development tool that
(2) actually works. While the world flails away with the almost useless
Java, a tiny company develops and markets a truly functional, cross-platf
