     The ability to add external commands and functions to HyperTalk is the result of excellent foresight. However, not everyone knows how to create their own XCMDs and XFCNs. As a programmer, I saw the advantages that these external commands and functions could provide. Lately, it's been brought to my attention frequently that many people are having problems understanding how to use XCMDs and XFCNs with HyperCard. Most of this problem seems to be with the concept of resources and with the use of ResEdit. Giving people the ability to use XCMDs and XFCNs without ANY ResEdit knowledge is what is required. I think I have found an ideal method.
