There's a woman at our University trying to make a complicated script for a
HyperCard stack.  The script is now about 25 pages long.  When she adds to it,
she gets the error, "Out of memory".  She's on a MacPlus.  Are scripts limited
by memory or is there a real limit on script length?  She managed to break up
the script for the time being but she wonders why this is occuring.  Apparently,
she's making a HyperText style application where the user selects words in a
passage of text and the script contains handlers for each word.

I'll forward any responses on to her.
