Anyone with system versions in between wanna narrow its debut down further?
SE 1.8.3 Mac OS 9.1 works as expected showing ^1^2^3^4 with two buttons.
But it's really wild if you leave out the quotes!
(display dialog) ^ (1 ^ (2 ^ (3 ^ 4)))
I think it's trying to raise a variable <display dialog> to powers. I thought "display dialog" would be a reserved phrase and create an error condition other than "can't make into a string".
I'm betting that the hat effect has to do with ^1 and the like being interpreted as a 16 bit unicode point.
