The dial command in HyperCard 1.0.1 ignores # and *. This is a bug which we have already fixed in our internal version and which will be fixed in the next rev of the product. Until then, the only way around the problem is to use an XCMD. The debug command in HyperCard 1.0.1 does nothing at all. It is for development use only and is enabled by compile time flags when we build internal versions. Note that because of the way inheritance works in HyperCard, you are free to make your own handlers or XCMD's of this same name or the name of any other built in command if you want. Thus you will never have a name conflict between one of your own routines and a built in command you didn't know about nor will we ever break existing scripts by adding new built in commands. Dan.
