I don't recall the particular posting you mention, but I recently
bought three books on HC 2.0.  They are the 3rd edition of Danny
Goodman's book and the two new books by Winkler et. al. on
Hypertalk.  Capsule reviews:
  Goodman:  better organized, less trivia than the first two editions,
		IMHO.  A good beginner's manual.  Fairly lightweight
		on scripting, but more better in this area than
		the earlier versions.
  Winkler, et. al. Hyperscript Manual (not the actual title, sorry)
	Excellent!  Knows all, tells all -- even to pointing out all
		the obscure bugs in the HC 1.2.x interpreter.  A
		MUST BUY for serious scripters.
  Winkler, et. al. Hyperscript Cookbook 
		 (or should that be CookBook, :-))
		Not bad.  Gives some neat-o tricks for better
scripting.
		Comes with a disk with source code.  Of course, you
can't
		RUN the damn thing until HC 2.0 is released!

Sorry I don't have the exact titles at my fingertips.  However,
they're
all published in ppb by Bantam.
