Don't know how to deal with error messages when converting from HyperCard

[Devin Asay]

Dale,

The HCAddressing property must be set to true for Rev to understand cd 
fld and bg fld (and btn) refereneces. If you imported your stack 
directly by opening a HyperCard stack, Revolution would have set this 
property to true automatically. If you copied your HyperCard script 
into a a Rev script this property might still be false and would cause 
an error.

The group textStyle is now known as "link" to avoid confusion with 
group objects.
