Dear Hypercard Scriptor,

  Could somebody tell me whether a "copy xcmd" exist?  I want to have some
Hypercard stacks updating themselves from a centralize server periodically.
I am thinking about invoking a  small aux stack to check the version 
number of the main stacks, and copy a new version over from the server if
a new one exist. Is there a better approach??
 
Thanks in advance.
