Thanks for catching my error, Wouter.  I forgot what the offset function
returns, and I typed that handler in without testing it.

After testing, it looks like this:

getProp uRuggedID
  put the long id of the target into tLongID
  if word 1 of tLongID is not "stack" then
    -- note: stacks do not have rugged ids
    put word 1 to 3 of tLongID into tRuggedID
    put offset(" of card id ",tLongID) into tOffset
    if tOffset > 0 then
      put char tOffset to tOffset + offset(space,tLongID,tOffset + 12) \
          + 11 of tLongID after tRuggedID
      -- note: 12 is the length of " of card id "
    end if
  end if
  return tRuggedID
end uRuggedID

A "rugged" id is a native long id stripped of any "of group id" clause.
