I am trying to create a hypercard stack to do some manipulations
on Red Ryder Host. I am specifically trying to access the File
Transfer Sections. When HC reads the files it converts all the
hex 00 to a space (hex 40). This is not cool. A friend suggested
it might do this only at the beginning of variables. I need to know
exactly what HC is doing. Does anyone have a solution?

Thanks in advance.
