Well, the latest version of the TADS compiler tells you what object is left
undefined -- but since I have a registered copy, I'm not sure it's the
same in the shareware version. Are you using TADS 2.2?
TADS 2.2 also allows you to turn off case-sensitivity with the modifier
-case- (there's a menu selection somewhere for the Mac version).
