Recently I've noticed that HyperCard's file directory has problems
finding files. Here's the story:

While in the Home Card I click on a button to open a newly-created
stack. HC complains it can't find it and puts up the directory
window asking me where it is. But when I move to the HC Stack folder
only about a half dozen of my 30+ stacks appear there. However, when
I choose "Open Stack..." I get the complete file list, including
my new stack. Bizarre. Rebuilding the desktop doesn't help, and I
get the same result with a fresh copy of the program. Does HC
choke if I collect too many stacks in a single folder?
