I may have run into an anomolie in the read command of HyperCard 2.1. HC 2.1 has aenhancedenhanced the read and write commands to handle text strings greater than 16K in length. I have been able to read strings as large as memory will allow using the read from file "fileName" for 100000 or the read from file "fileName" at 10000 for 100000 BUT when I use the read from file "fileName" until myChar then it only returns 16384 chars. the read from file "fileName" until end (or eof) DOES return all the chars, but any other char doesn't seen to work properly. Is this the way its supposed to work? Thanks
