(In response to Jeremy Mereness' remark..."drawback that HyperStudio cannot
download HyperCard stacks " (sorry, not a direct quote)

HyperStudio has only a surface resemblance to HyperCard.  The functionality
that makes HyperCard great is that folks with access to computers but without
special programming education can make some *amazing* applications.  HyperCard's
scripting language HyperTalk is what makes all the difference.

(I've got real hypertext for HyperCard, now I just need it for the computer
I can afford to own, the IIgs.)
