Subject: Can one now rename "Home"

Whilst fiddling with sys 7.0 and HC2.1, I discovered that I could re-name the
home stack to "FOO-was home" or anything else. Double-clicking the HyperCard
application, stack "FOO-was home" or any other stack results in the dialog:

"Where is Home?".

Selecting "FOO-was home" >chooses that stack as the home stack<, instaed of
resulting in the dialog "Couldn't find Home", thence quitting HyperCard.

Selecting another stack, then typing Command-H brings me back to (you guessed
it) "FOO-was home".

It would seem that the "Home" stack no longer has to be named "Home" in order
to function as a "Home" stack (unless, of course, I'm doing something
"wrong"!).

What a concept...

I try to follow this group closely but, so far have yet to hear anyone else
comment about this ... did I miss something? Is this a new feature? If someone
on the HC team is thinking "Ooops, that's a bug to fix!", may I submit to you,
"That's not a bug - that's a feature!", and a great one at that !

Thanks,

Larry Slack
