To any budding XCMD writers out there (like myself):  

Know of the best way to pass strings to HyperCard? I'm writing to a string and then passing that string to Hypercard.  HyperCard is SO SLOW in putting the string into the field that it slows things down a lot.  Without the putting of the string this XCMD works VERY FAST! 

Any ideas? If so send them to me at:
PSMY (MacNET)
P.SMY (GEnie)
or phone my BBS in Ottawa:1-613-233-6262 (the NCMC TCS)

Thanks.
