    If you have touch tone on your telephone, simply holding the handset near
the Mac II speaker (on the lower right hand side of the front of the machine)
will dial your telephone for you.  I discovered this one last night when
my telephone (which normally lives next to the Mac II) was not properly
on the handset.

    This makes additional insentive not to play with Hypercard's dialing
ability without checking that the phone is definitely on the handset.
(I accidently called my girlfriend long distance.  Oh, well.  I did want
to talk to her, anyways!!!   ;-)
