If you are willing to learn NeWS (a non-trivial undertaking) then I think
your best bet would be HyperNeWS, which is the closest thing to Supercard
that I have seen on a Sun (Supercard provides a nicely extended superset
of the original Hypercard's functionality). HyperNeWS is available via
anonymous ftp from tumtum.cs.umd.edu.

P.S. I also have HyperCmedia, and though it does have its uses, it does
not, IMHO, offer functionality comparable to Supercard or HyperNeWS.
