Subject: Export HuperCard stack; exports data from a stack

Here is a SIMPLE stack that may do the trick for you. It prompts for the
stack that you'ld like to export and the export file name. Then scans each
field of each card of the stack and writes out the data. The output format is
simple tab-delimited text for importing into just about anything including
Excel.
Note: This stack assumes that the first card of the stack contains the first
record and then proceeds through to the last card of the stack. If there are
multiple backgrounds the script will have to be modified to be smarter.
Hope this helps.
