HyperCard 2.2: Creating a Home Button Script (6/95)


This article describes why a script from the HyperCard 2.2 Reference manual does not work and the fix.

In the HyperCard 2.2 Reference Manual there is an exercise to write a script for a button that goes to the Home stack. If you enter the script verbatim from the manual, every time you try to use the button, you will get a "Where is "Home".?" message.

Step 3 of the script appears on page 3-8 of the manual as follows:

. 3. Type go to stack "Home".

If you type in the script exactly as you see it, including the period, then the script will fail. You must delete the period from the script in order for it to run properly.
