Hi,

I can't seem to be able to get the name of a card then have it
test correctly in an "if" statement.  Does anyone know how to do this?

for example, I wrote:

get the name of this card
put it into Message
if it is "myname" then
 beep
end if

--it writes the card name into Message (with the word 'card' in front
of it) but doesn't think "myname" and it match.  

thanks,
Leila
