concatenating with the ampersand

[Joe Lewis Wilkins]

Thanks Klaus. Even though one of the suggestions that Jim made worked  
"once", it didn't continue to work and I've reverted back to my less  
"eloquent" workaround, which I may eventually need anyway to  
implement a more varied response based on the specific fields to  
which the mouseup is sent. There are obviously some Rev issues with  
building names. I suspect your comment regarding the use of  
parenthesis is probably relevant. It was with HyperCard and I've long  
been in the habit of "over using" them for clarity if nothing else.
This raises another item: I found that a mouseup that I wanted  
"caught" by the card script was being passed on to the stack script  
upon completion. When I encountered this with HC I would insert an  
exit to HyperCard statement. I thought I had tried an exit to Rev or  
Revolution statement once before and it didn't work; so I just used  
the exit to HyperCard statement. To my surprise it worked!

Again, thanks, Joe Wilkins
