I have two points; 1-Since when have you see a press release the read exactly as you though. The press release is just a little note and a tease, as with all things we have to wait and see what the final release is when more info comes. The other is this, Apple did not ship everything that you needed to be able to script with Hypercard, it you remember they gave you the Hypercard into book, and then told you what else you had to buy to be able to program. Yea, you could jump in and just try things, and you most likely will be able to do that again. But of the information to do really powerful scripts and to write externals, you will have to buy something else. Time will tell, just hold on and see what finally gets out. Who knows, as a result of the handing over of HyperCard we may see the program grow just like MacWrite did. (After all, MacWrite II is a huge step ahead of MacWrite) TVL -or-Tom Van Lenten tv0c@andrew.cmu.edu bitnet%"tv0c@andrew"
