[comp.sys.mac.hypercard] Finding a user specified card

Well, after trying unsuccessfully to use the built-in mechanism for
selected a specific card using the "Link To" button in the button
dialog box, I've writen my own version.  As some one suggested (thanks!)
I used a custom-made palette and a global or two to keep track of the
original location.  The only tricky part is where to put the handlers.  The
easiest place is to store it in the stack and use the command:

	start using this stack

This places current stack in the message passing hierarchy.  Use:

	stop using this stack

to remove it.
