Has anyone noticed the following bugs in the way that Hypercard dials the phone? If you try to get it to dial a number such as 815-XXXX (just to site an example of something I tried to do last night), it interprets the 815 as an area code, and puts a 1 in front of the number, which Ma Bell doesn't like. If you try to get around this problem by changing your preferences in the phone stack so that long distance numbers don't start with a 1, and you put a 1 in front of all your long distance numbers, Hypercard doesn't recognize the first one in the number. This is especially annoyoying for me, since when I try to call NYC from NJ, I have an easy access code that starts with the number 10, which Hypercard refuses to recognize. Okay, all of you hypercard people out there. Is there anyway to get around this problem? Other than that, Hypercard seems great, considering the little work that I've had a chance to do with it. BTW, thanks to everyone who sent me messages about the Cricket Graph bug that I reported. Opening another type of graph first really does work.
