Don't ever run HyperCard of any flavour with less than 750k showing
for the Finder in the "About the Finder..." info box. The Update
documents say this, saying that "the Paint tools won't work and other
unexpected results may occur" or words to that effect. I can take a hint.

It is very easy for inits and things to chew up memory - you need a
very lean 1Mb machine to run HyperCard - around 800k free.
