I want to first learn, then teach a class about HyperCard. Can you suggest good texts written for people who are already programmers? I would like one (or two) that covers Xcommands as well as Hypercard scripts. Are there other useful educational materials like illustrative stacks or assignments and exercises which you have found useful? Larry

Tay Vaughan (ISBN 0-88022-340-5) for a general introduction and a lot of tips (esp. shortcuts)? This book is not as chatty as Goodmans, and it's easy to find what you're looking for. Or "HyperCard script language Guide" (publ. by Apple through Addison Wesley) which is a lexicon for HyperTalk (it also explains the XCMD/XFCN -interface). A draft of this book was published by APDA. I think the Guide is the _true_ HyperTalk-Bible. /Olle
