LC 6.5 DP1 Mystery

[Ralph DiMola]

I think this is something different. In 6.5==> put the name of control
("group"&&quote&"jbtlogo"&quote&&"of this card")
Throws a "no such object error". Pre 6.5 it would return==>Group "jbtlogo"
Looks to me that the 6.5 is the correct behavior.

This returns==>Group "jbtlogo"<== in both 6.5 and pre 6.5 if you eliminate
the reference to a card:
put the name of control ("group"&&quote&"jbtlogo"&quote)

There was a change to name which I believe now returns empty if there was no
name instead of abbrev id. Does that explain it?
