Well, actually, HyperCard is capable of hiding the menubar, and it works
perfectly under MultiFinder. FullPaint is capable of running in full
screen mode, and works fine under MultiFinder except for some minor
screen update anomolies when you switch out of FullPaint while you are
in full screen mode. At least it doesn't bomb.
I must confess that I can't figure out exactly how HyperCard works
under MultiFinder. Why is it that none of HyperCard's windows are
visible when you switch back to the Finder?
