i'm writing a stack with hypercard 2.0 and i'm working with items in a
container.  i need to have commas within one or more items.

can i:
	change the item delimeter from a comma to a bullet or other char?

	put some sort of quote character around an item to prevent
	hypercard from interpreting a comma as an item delimeter
	(like in the unix shell) ?

please reply via e-mail

thanks,

daniel
