Hello to all,


It is heart warming to read a living HyperCard community.


As incredible as it may seems, HyperCard do still plays an essential part in my work.


I wish to find a way to keep the data and the scripts alive.


I wonder, if someone may guide me about the following issue, if it still possible and if yes, to tell me where I can find the information how to do it?


The following HyperTalk script lines actually works within SuperCard:


-----------------


put "eppc://user:password@192.168.1.5/HyperCard" into ServeurAE


request "findFilm(ECF("& quote & NoPhoto & quote &"))" from program ServeurAE


------------------


When the functions "FindFilm(ECF(NoPhoto))" are sent with text variable "NoPhoto" to a remonte machine running HyperCard under OS X Tiger with Classic, it returns the full text content of the matching card.


If I remember well, it was possible to do the equivalent with AppleScript, but I can't remember how. And I have never done it.


If is possible, I wish I can do it from AppleScript under OS X Maverick.


Can anyone help or refer to where I might find the answer?




Many thanks
