Anthony,

// OFF TOPIC START:
 "der Wurm", Masculine. with foreign-language words, usually the gender of
the translation is used, which leads to funny things with words like "Space
shuttle", which can be "das Raumschiff" or "die Raumf�hre". If people don't
know what to use, they usually apply English rules (i.e. neuter for things,
feminine/masculine for beings).
// OFF TOPIC END.

>Not nearly as bad as that message hierarchy.

HEY! We can't do HyperCard without the message-passing hierarchy, so we can
as well use it to extend syntax (we need "start using" anyway).

Ok.
