I am trying to make a debugging aid for HyperCard. I have the HyperCard Script Language Guide from APDA dated 11 August 87. In this documentation there is a command called cantUnderstand that is supposedly sent to the open card when an incorrect HyperTalk statement it executed. I don't seem to get this message when I give an invalid instruction. I just get the standard Can't Understand script dialog. In looking for possibly another name for this message, I stumbled across a command called 'debug'. You can either turn it on or off, but I haven't figured out what it does yet. I need some method of testing a HyperTalk command or getting back control with an error message when an incorrect command is executed. Has anyone has figured out how to do this?
