[comp.sys.mac.hypercard] Unexpected error 1777. Sorry.

abbo@tank.uchicago.edu (Laurie Abbott) (10/17/89)

I have a modest (one of my first attempts) running in a hospital
office on a Plus with 40mg hd.  I got a report last week of an error
message at sort time (sort by CardName which is assigned from a field,
and sort by keyword which is supplied by the user):

Unexpected error 1777.  Sorry.

And that's it.  I haven't been able to duplicate the error on the test
stack I am running, but the office people using it are still
complaining.  I suspect it may not be the stack at all, though they
swear the disk isn't full, etc., all of the obvious things.  No mention of
this error message number in any sources that I have.  Any ideas?

Or, better yet, why does HyperCard not have standard errors that most 
humans can read?
