[comp.sys.mac.hypercard] Problem with dial command in HC 2.0

ldo@waikato.ac.nz (Lawrence D'Oliveiro, Waikato University) (11/23/90)

I use HyperCard to dial my touch-tone phone, using an adaptation of the
1.x "Phone" stack which works with New Zealand-style phone numbers. I just
today found a problem with commas in dialled numbers: if there are more
than three digits preceding a comma, then the dial command doesn't pause
before dialling the rest!

If you're wondering "but would anyone want more than three digits
before a comma?"--yes, I do.

If any of the HyperCard people are reading this, it would be another
really nice fix to incorporate into 2.0v2...
