Version 1.2 of HyperCard seems to break the XCMD (CatchReturn) mechanism in a shareware stack that I distribute. I have not yet seen the release notes (please, do not ask), but gather that 1.2 has a new message for catching a Return typed in a text field. How can my stack determine whether it is running under Version 1.2 or later? Or, equivalently, whether this new message is `meaningful' in the running version?

Try using the built-in HyperTalk function "the version", i.e., put the version typed into the message box will display the version number. You can also test for things like "the long version".
