First, let me say to all the apple people out there how much I enjoy 2.0
It is a vast improvement. One curiosity however. I find that whenever
my script calls for a dialog box (i.e. "type o with commankey") the dialog
box starts at its last level; not necessarity where you want it.  Is
there any way in hypertalk to manipulate the dialog box to display a
predetermined level?

One more question to the hypercard team, if I may. The new feature which
allows for stack duplication with the dialog box is great for a system
of interrelated stacks such as the one I've been working on. But how
about going a step further and provide hypertalk features which allow
for the creation of folders in the finder screen?  Is there any way
I can do this now with an XCMD?  Thanks for your help.
