+// huffware script: noteworthy library, by fred huffhines.
+//
+// a handy approach to reading a notecard. this version supports requiring
+// a 'signature' in the notecard's first line, so that multiple notecards can
+// exist in an object without being misinterpreted. the script is accessed via
+// its link message API, so it can be used in an object without all this code
+// needing to be embedded in another script. it also supports queuing up requests
+// to read notecards, so multiple scripts can use it to read their specific
+// notecards without any special handling (besides waiting a bit longer).
