calling an api from a stack?

[Mike Bonner]

If you mean using merge inside the function, I guess one could do the merge
beforehand and pass it in as a parameter, or alternatively do the merge in
the function and return the generated url string as part of the returned
value.  IE change it like so..
function translate pText,pLang
   put merge(kGetTransUrl) into tUrl
   get url tUrl
   return "URLString: " & tUrl & cr & it
end translate

Then just dump the first line if things are working right.  Hmm. Actually,
pre-merging is nice because it would allow the use of "load" with callbacks
for multiple url calls. Use the callback to process, part of which lets you
see the URL associated with the callback.  Sounds like a better option than
using a function call for sure.
