How do I clone an embedded stack?

[stephen barncard]

I did this for fonts, and somewhere I have code that creates a new prefs
stack.

Here's the one for fonts.  Same idea. Not really 'cloning' but 'storing the
file conveniently. Thanks to Ken Ray for this.

ON suckUp pFilePath
       -- this puts a binary file into a custom property set for fonts
       put long name of stack "chateau" into tStackForImbedding
       IF pFilePath is empty
       THEN
              answer file "Choose a font to embed:"
              IF it is empty THEN exit to top
              put it into pFilePath
       END IF

       set itemdel to "/"
       put last item of pFilePath into tShortFileName
       set the uFONTBins[tShortFileName] of tStackForImbedding to URL
("binfile:" & pFilePath)
END suckUp

ON spitOut pFolderPath
       -- used to put out binaries from a custom property
       IF pFolderPath is empty
       THEN
              answer folder "Folder to store font:"
              IF it is empty THEN exit to top
       END IF

       put the uFileName of this card into tFileName
       put pFolderPath &"/"& tFileName into tFilePath

       put the uEmbeddedFile of this card into URL ("binfile:" & tFilePath)
END spitOut
