HyperCard Through 2.1: "Word 3 to 1" Correction (7/92)

The next to last paragraph on Page 116 of the Script Language Guide states
that

When the first number in a range is greater than the second, you get an
empty string. For example, char 5 to 3 of "Motorcycle" yields "" or empty.

This holds true for char, but not for word. For example, word 2 to 1 of
"Motorcycle gang" yields "gang", not empty.

This applies to HyperCard versions 1.x through 2.1.
