Note: The following information applies only to system software versions
earlier than 7.0. Under System 7, the Font/DA Mover is no longer used, and desk
accessories are opened just like regular applications.
TOPIC -----------------------------------------------------------
I received a desk accessory (DA) that needs to be installed directly into a
HyperCard stack. How can I do this?
DISCUSSION ------------------------------------------------------
Developers sometimes ship a desk accessory for use specifically with their
software products, so that the DA is available in the Apple menu only while
running their products. It's possible, for example, to install desk accessories
into HyperCard. While in Font/DA Mover, hold down the Option key while clicking
the Open button. This will allow you to select and open HyperCard. Copy the DA
normally once the program is open in one of Font/DA Mover's windows. The DA is
now installed in HyperCard's resource fork, and it will show up in the Apple
menu whenever HyperCard is running.
