Has anyone found a way of resizing the HyperCard window to fit a
13, 14, or 19 inch monitor ? Irrelevant if its monochrome or color.

Bill did most of his development on a Mac Plus, not a II and felt that if you allowed cards to be bigger than the standard Mac screen then all you nice 19" power users would make cards with buttons at the bottom of the screen that classic mac or SE users could not see or use. Bill Atkinson does not seem to like SCROLL BARS! or standard Mac windows with resize widgets. Witness MacPaint....Hypercard.... o And while we are at it how about being able to have multiple stacks open at once (given enough memory) a la MacDraw. Or at the very least children windows of the parent stack, with all of the standard HC properties available. o And how about the ability to add menus (pull down and popup) as directly supported features to hypercard.
