I just spent my first long weekend with HyperTalk.  What a frustrating
language!  I warmed to concepts like calling a default variable 'it', but
just when I relied on the cute synonyms and English-like features, it let
me down.  What I want is a clear  specification of the language syntax
(which I don't have in either Goodman or APDA's publication).

What's wrong with this sentence:

	wait for one second

Hypertalk insists that it be

	wait for one seconds
