I very much doubt that this "new" bug will hold things up too long, since it is a documented misfeature that is as old as Hypercard. Page 35 of the Hypercard Script Language Guide mentions the specific case of the problem that HyperCard has with: card "1812" -- where 1812 is the name of the card which Hypercard has always taken to be: card 1812 --the card which is the 1812th card of the stack. Yes, this has bitten me in the past, too. And since HC 2.0 will still allow unquoted literals all over the place, I am willing to bet this feature is here for good. And, if at this late date, they actually decided to hold back HC 2.0 to fix things like this, and the 'card "ten"' problem, I'd be a little annoyed. > Sorry, guys..... No problem.
