There is a "HyperCard like" package out for the IIGS.  It's called
HyperStudio (by Roger Wagner Pub.)  I have an early version of it and it's
really quite good.  It isn't completed yet (Sept.) but it's more than
vaperware since what I've got does what it does quite well.

If anyone is interested in more info. on it email or post your questions
and I'll try to answer them.  On Sept. 5 I will be Demo'ing it at the
A.P.P.L.E. Co-op (Tech Alliance), in Seattle, Apple IIgs SIG meeting.  If
any interested parties are in the area you're welcome to come.  Let me know
and I'll give you directions.

{Disclamer:  I don't work for Roger Wagner Pub. in any way, (all though
they're a good company and it might be fun to).  I hadn't even heard of
HyperStudio before two months ago.  I don't work for the Co-op either, just
a volunteer.}
