Delete Preferences file

Hi,
I'm sure that this is very simple but I cannot figure how to do it:
On closing the stack I'm saving all the preferences in a file like this (in the stack script):
Code: Select all
on closeStack
set the cCurrentView of stack gPrefsFile to gCurrentView
......
......
save stack gPrefsFile
close stack gPrefsFile
end closeStack
and in the button for deleting the Preferences stack is:
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
answer question "Are you sure you want to reset all your Preferences ?" with OK and Cancel
if it is Cancel then exit to top
else delete file gPrefsFile
answer "All your Preferences have been reset. Please restart the app."
## what to put here to bypass the closeStack command in the stack script?
end mouseUp
When the Preferences file gets deleted and the stack is about to close I'm getting of course an error because the Preferences file is not there anymore: execution error at line 493 (Chunk: can't find stack), char 25
How to get it working properly?

OK, I figured it out.
In the reset button I have now:
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
answer question "Are you sure you want to reset selection of all your Favorites?" with OK and Cancel
put it into gDel
if it is Cancel then exit to top
else delete file gPrefsFile
answer "All your Favorites have been reset. Please restart the app."
end mouseUp
and in the closeStack:
Code: Select all
on closeStack
if gDel = "OK" then pass closeStack
else
set the cCurrentView of stack gPrefsFile to gCurrentView
....
....
save stack gPrefsFile
close stack gPrefsFile
end if
end closeStack
But there must be some simpler way as well. Any suggestions?

A simpler way for what?

For doing the same thing, just 1 line in the button script maybe?
I was trying something like this:
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
answer question "Are you sure you want to reset selection of all your Favorites?" with OK and Cancel
if it is Cancel then exit to top
else
delete file gPrefsFile
send "pass closeStack" to this stack in 0 sec
answer "All your Favorites have been reset. Please restart the app."
end mouseUp
but it does not work.

Problem is, I have still no idea what "doing the same thing" means"?

Sorry, I was not clear.
With doing the same thing, I meant deleting the Prefs file without creating an error. I thought that some short line in the button script without the need of creating another global would work.
