[comp.sys.mac.hypercard] HC 1.2 stuff

PUGH@NMFECC.ARPA (06/20/88)

So here's a couple of things...

Is there any way to find out if the menubar is showing?  I tried the visible 
of the menubar, but it choked.

Is there any reason to avoid using the new features of 1.2 or should I special 
case my code?  I hate special casing for old versions.

I have been trying the new opening features of HC 1.2 and have found a bug.  
I'm on a 2 meg machine (which leaves about 300K free, Ack!) and when I do an 
open, it just fails without returning anything in the result.  Is this proper?
I also found an instance, where trying to open MacPaint 2.0, I placed ""s 
around it and HC moved to my Application list card without updating the 
screen.  Definate bug action.  Did I describe that well enough?  The script 
was :

on mouseUp
  get the short name of the target
  open quote && it & quote
  if the result is not empty then put the result
end mouseUp

Can anyone replicate this action?
