I am new to this game, so please be patient and precise in your response.

I have modified external.c to include certain API calls that I want to
invoke within my Metacard stack. I have also created a stack with 3 buttons
to call 3 distinct API calls. My problem is that I do not know how to
invoke external.c correctly when the button is pushed. I tried open
process already like:
on mouse up
ask "Please enter..."
open process "external"
end mouse up.

And open process gives me an error.

Please tell me what I am doing wrong.
I do have Dan Goodman's book if a reference is available.

Thanks,
Alice Tong
