Shari, You need to make sure the destroyStack and destroyWindow of the stack is set to true. This way it should purge itself as soon as it's closed. Ken Ray They are. Both boxes in the stack object dialog are checked. -- --Shareware Games for the Mac-- http://www.gypsyware.com

If you're relying on an FTP server to return the file to you, it seems like the request should include info about the kind of service needed from the Mac. In other words, instead of this: > put url > (file:username:password@address/hardDrive/users/myAccount/filePath/ > fileName) into fld "X"
