The dial command in HyperCard 1.0.1 ignores # and *.  This is a bug
which we have already fixed in our internal version and which will be
fixed in the next rev of the product.  Until then, the only way around
the problem is to use an XCMD.

The debug command in HyperCard 1.0.1 does nothing at all.  It is for
development use only and is enabled by compile time flags when we build
internal versions.  Note that because of the way inheritance works in
HyperCard, you are free to make your own handlers or XCMD's of this
same name or the name of any other built in command if you want.  Thus
you will never have a name conflict between one of your own routines
and a built in command you didn't know about nor will we ever break
existing scripts by adding new built in commands.

Dan.
