SimpleText is not scriptable, but you might use other
applications such as AppleWorks.
-- paste from hypercard
put fld 1 into the clipboard
put "tell application" && quote & ¬
"AppleWorks" & quote && "to paste" ¬
into myScript
do myScript as AppleScript
-- copy to hypercard using
-- applescript
tell application "AppleWorks"
set myVar to the selection as text
end tell
set the clipboard to myVar
tell application "HyperCard"
do script "put \"" & myVar & "\" after ¬
the selection"
end tell
Now back to "why?". This script requires some text to be
selected in AppleWorks. You also will need to open a file in
that application. I don't know what you are trying to do, but
since you said you were using SimpleText it would be easier to
just open a file in HyperCard and pull the text out of it.
Best,
Mark
