Can the recursion depth of hypertalk be increased?  I believe it is
supposed to be 20, and I can evaluate a recursive function with a
depth of 15, but no more.  I have an application that needs deeper
recursion.  Basically, it involves parsing an algebraic expression;
it puts two or three calls on the stack for each layer of operator
nesting.
