Actually, it was invented long before this group was around (I remember it
being used during the HyperCard days (even before SuperCard/MetaCard) when
talking about how Asymetrix Toolbook was a variation of the HyperTalk
language.)

Once again, required for *what* - for functions? object properties? global
properties? something else?

AFAIK all variations/expansions of the HyperTalk dialect have their own
pecadillos, even SuperCard. :-)
