Hi Nick,

The reason why you can't use all digits, is that when
you refer to card n, where n is a number, it thinks
you want card _number_ n (ie the n-th card), not card
_named_ n.
Quoting the number won't do the trick because the
engine interprets the parameter, sees it's a number
and tries to be helpful.
So put a "c" in front of the number, and you won't
have a problem.

Hope this cleared it up,

Jan Schenkel.
