read the Documentation:
The originalBase is an integer between 2 and 36.

so 85 is outside the range.
Why would you want to use base 85 ?

Hi JB,
You can't use baseconvert, because baseconvert encodes only what can
be displayed using 36 different symbols (26 letters and 10 numbers).
I suspect you'll have to write a base85 function yourself and please
share it if you do.
Best regards,

select the button or buttons. Press CTRL-G to group the selected button(s).
Open the propertyinspector (right click on the selected group) and check

Create your button on the first card of your stack, select it, choose

Jacque,
Just to second what Dave says.
For many of my apps where I 'load a document', I 'go' the stack, copy the

remove it from memory. I don't like leaving inv data stacks in memory for a
number of reasons: 1) larger memory
That works here. Having accessed a cp in the stack in question, it

However, close stack blah seems to purge it from memory just fine.
