This stack was developed to test Apple events for any program. Operation is quite simple. You can send a message of type "WILDTEST" to HyperCard 2.1, and its contents will be displayed in the main message field. You can also send a message of any type to any program and the reply is placed in the main message field.
The amount of time allowed for the response is adjusted by the sliding button to the right, and is displayed in seconds at the bottom.
Help is turned on or off by pressing the balloon above the timeout slider.
If the message you send requires a reply, check the request reply box. The receiving program is set by pressing the "To" button. Please note, that the message type must consist of eight letters, and is written together, e.g., misceval or miscdosc.

Star Trek sounds come from Mike Scudamore, SPARTA, Inc. (scud@huntsville.sparta.com). "The distribution of these sounds is free. STAR TREK and STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION are registered trademarks of Paramount Pictures Corporation. So guess who owns most of the sounds anyway?" (quote from M. Scudamore)
The XCMD for sending Apple events as well as many of the routines in the stack script are taken from the stack Apple Event XCMDs b1 included with the Apple Devoper CD.
