Home stack conversion from HC

[MisterX]

Ouch!

I just insert 

  answer myvartocheck with "Y" or "N"
  if it is "N" then exit [handler|to hypercard]

how come i never saw the debugger before?
can't you modify it and insert a button with Exit to HyperCard?

to be followed!
(im going to eat this debugger bugger!)
