I think all of us in the developer community applaud Apple's
pre-release of information on System 7.0; it helps us plot our own
future courses more easily.  The same should be true of HyperCard 2.0,
but unfortunately, it is still being treeated with the old philosophy
that Apple keeps sending us little brown pieces of paper claiming to
have repudiated.  I am writing a stack that needs more than HyperCard
1.2.2 can give, and it would be nice to know if I could expect these
things to appear in HyperCard 2.0, or if I should be spending a great
deal of time researching alternative hypersoftware and writing XCMDs to
try to solve my problems.  Apple's reticence on HyperCard 2.0 features
is causing real damage to this project.
