     I considered many different methods of copying resources from one stack to another. As a programmer, I've always depended on various utilities, such as ResEdit. Naturally, these utilities are not geared for non-programmers. Yes, I know many people can copy and paste resources with ResEdit, but what about those who can't?

     I decided that what people really need is a way to move resources around with a HyperCard user interface. I thought to myself: "Now, if only I could make it as easy as pasting a button!" So, that's what I did.
With the use of my ResCopy XCMD and some HyperTalk scripting, I have developed a method that literally makes copying any named resource from one stack to another as easy as pasting a button. That's exactly what the user does, with my method. He copies a button, pastes it into another stack, then clicks on it.
