- There was and still is a small confusion, because the go command seems
- to behave differently from a handler then from the message box.
-
- Why do I say this? I am writing a stack, in which there will be at least
- two backgrounds. The first is a card for a year plan, the second is a
- detail card. I had the idea to name a card of the first background according
- to the year it was about. In the card of the second background I naturally
- had to add a button to go to that card. From the date (in a field) I get
- the year and even though I quote it I could not use that to go to the plan
- card. That the variable contains something that looks right, I see in
- the variable watcher (my version is 2.0v2). I know that if I write in
- the message box: go card 1992, that doesn't lead anywhere, but if I quote
- the year: go card "1992", I'm in the right card! But in the handler this
- doesn't seem to work and I wonder why. (If I prefix the year with letters
- it does it, but...)
