Anthony,
"item delimiter is tab 1 of myStr" is not a complete sentence.
One HyperTalk command always approximates a real sentence:
go to card 1 of stack "foo"
select card button one
>put item (the delimiter is tab) 3 of...
See, it's not a real sentence. Even worse, the scripters will wonder why
they have to place the parenthesis between item and 3!
>Not only would it make it verbose, it'd make xTalk mutable... Imagine this:
>put item1 1 of item2 5 of item4 7 of data into...
Of course, we could put limits on chunk type names like forbidding numbers.
If we could come up with enough names, we could also come up with 4 or so
chunk names and make their delimiter user-modifyable. But specifying the
delimiter with the item would be much more convenient.
