I'm not a hypercard expert, but it looks like I have a blown stack @8^o
At one card (#13), the "next" button stops working.  I can use "find" to
get to card (#14), but then the "previous" button doesn't work.  I can't
delete card #13 at all.  "Compress Stack" also reports a "disk error
-24" on my mac+ and "Can't compress Stack" on a Mac SE/30.  Hypercard
versions 1.2.5. and 1.2.1, resp.

my guess is that stacks are some kind of doubly linked lists, and my pointers
are screwed up; but like I said, I'm no expert.  Does anyone know how to
fix this?  I tried a sort command, and it did work, but didn't help.

As they say in Iraq, tanks in advance!
