OK, here goes ... one more time. Last July I was at a meeting of IALL at MIT. At the meeting I saw a demonstration of a program that sits on top of Hypercard and lets one program more esily in Hypercard. So, one could use this program to create stacks for foreign language instruction, for example. I think the product was being developed by someona at Brown University (maybe not), and that the cost was somewhere around $45. I posted an inquiry about this on comp.sys.mac a while back and nobody knew about this particular program...so I thought I'd try here. Does anyone know anything about this? Thanks in advance. Gerry

Can you give any more details about what this product does? There are third-party script editors for HyperCard, that replace the modal dialog editor with something more flexible that lets you do things like put more than one script on the screen at once, see a list of items that have non-empty scripts, and so forth. Is this what you mean? I believe there's also a stack by Dan Shafer, which was released in the first few months after HyperCard came out, called Script Expert. This stack contained tutorial information on the various commands and their form, and let you write a handler by clicking on buttons corresponding to the commands you wanted to use. Does this sound like what you're looking for? -- ====== jeanne a. e. devoto ======================================== jdevoto@apple.com | You may not distribute this article under a jdevoto@well.UUCP | compilation copyright without my permission. ___________________________________________________________________ Apple Computer and I are not authorized | CI$: 72411,165 to speak for each other. | AppleLink: SQA.TEST
