Well, thanks to the local Apple dealership and the Apple academic
representative, I've gotten my hands on *both* versions of HyperCard 2.0 and
can verify for everyone what the differences are. (At least the ones I can
tell. :-)
(1) Full version: Has all of the stacks one would expect based on experience
with HyperCard 1.2.x and earlier (Phone, Addresses, Clip Art, etc.)
Small version: Has only Appointments and Addresses stacks in addition to a
vastly different Home stack.
(2) Full version: Five disks.
Small version: Two disks.
(3) Full version: Defaults to Userlevel 2 (Typing) but can be easily changed to
Userlevel 5 (Scripting).
Small version: Defaults to Userlevel 2 and cannot be changed unless the
"secret" enabling process is discovered. (Even for a HyperCard novice like me
it didn't take much time to figure out the secret...trust me!)
True to Apple's words, the HC 2.0 application is the same in both versions of
the package.

P.S. Would I be breaking any rules if I posted the complete method for enabling
scripting in the small HC 2.0 package? I'd be happy to do so if I can be
certain that I won't be paid a visit by Apple's or Claris's lawyers.
