The main problem is that there is no way to catch the parameters of
the SET function in HC 2.1.

According to the release notes, you can catch the parameters of a Set in HC 2.1
But that doesn't matter since a Send to HyperCard is untrappable.

Mike later writes...

The problem with this is that a field of all stacks that have been
checked needs to be kept, and everytime that a stack is opened, the
field must be examined to see if this particular stack has been
checked.

I write...
Unfortunately if the virus stack traps for the OpenStack Message it becomes
harder to know when a new stack has been opened. You could have the user induce
the checking proceedure, but then it would be too late and your Home Stack
script could be wiped out or other worse things could happen by then.

  As I said before, if anyone else feels like beating me
to the punch with a solution of their own, feel free - but don't you
DARE charge $$ for it.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
Me again...
The only solution seems to be, check your Home Stack periodicaly, or lock it,
and always make backups of important stacks.
Apple MUST prevent using a Set command within a Send to HyperCard or no stack
will be safe!!

Sounds scary doesn't it?
