Thanks for the pointer. I've done a fair bit of work in Director, Flash, 
etc. A long time ago I did Hypercard work. I'm sure with a little bit of 
guidance I'll get "custom properties," but if you could just point me to 
a brief explanation of how this works and how to "suck up" and "spit 
out" (as I've heard the process referred to in some posts) something 
like another file or executable, I'd appreciate it.
