[comp.sys.mac] Hypercard running in background?

kaz@nanovx.UUCP (Mike Kazmierczak) (07/21/89)

Can HyperCard run in the background?  I tried setting the bit but it wouldn't
listen to clicks while a script is running.  Is there any kluge to start it
up on a script and shove it to the back?

No.  Unfortunately the event loop in HyperCard is pretty complicated
(so I've been told).  Its unfortunate, because we'ld like to use it as
a prototyping tool that could receive AppleTalk messages in the background.

I believe SuperCard has the same limitation.
