card id and button problem

Since the subject has come up...

1. If I recall correctly, HyperTalk would return just the id digits 
for "the id of ..." for some controls and [controlName] id [id 
digits] of ...] for others.  There were ids, long ids, & short ids, 
and the differentiation was not uniform among all controls.

2.  Rev Dictionary says "The create card command places the ID 
property of the newly created card in the it variable."  That is not 
true: if I type "put the id of this card", I get the id digits only.

At the very least, the Dictionary should read "The create card 
command places the long ID property of..."
