[comp.sys.mac.hypercard] A Card by Any Other Name

lac@ecs.soton.ac.uk (Les Carr) (02/14/90)

Under certain circumstances I can do the following:
	put the short name of this card into foo
	go to card foo
and get the reply "No such card". This is a general problem, ie I
can do the "go to card so-and-so" from anywhere in the stack and still
be told that the card doesn't exist. This is not just a "Temporary
glitch" problem! 
What limits are there on the names of cards? It doesn't seem to be
character length as we have troed reducing the length of the names.
Its very irritating to change your lovely symbolic references into "go
to card id xyz"!
