The whole id number thing

[Shari]

TeleScripathy... I like that!  Gosh I wish I was back working on the 
adventure game!  TeleScripathy would be a good magical power for it 
:-)  Seems all I ever do is work on the Blackjack game... sigh.  One 
more mega-update (now in beta) and heck or dang-nation I WILL go back 
to the adventure game.  No more updates for the blackjack game for 
awhile unless to squash a bug.

I haven't encountered the missing image crash in about a year (not 
since I fixed the scripts :-)  For no apparent reason Metacard would 
just quit without warning.  And I finally tracked it down to a 
reference in my scripts to an image that wasn't installed or 
something to that effect.  Yes, it was OSX.  And an older version of 
Metacard (2.4.3).  I don't recall if it happened on other platforms.

I do use images as patterns, and haven't encountered a problem, or at 
least, none that I've seen or that has been reported to me on 
Windows.  I know the pattern has to be pretty specific in its 
dimensions in order to work.

TeleScripathy... gosh the very word makes me happy!  It brings the 
goal back into focus... get this update out the door so I can be 
working on my happy project again :-)
