Claris is not yet taking orders for HyperCard 2.0.  There are
nevertheless two ways you can get it now without documentation.

1) HyperCard 2.0 is available from user groups that have licenses to
distribute it.  You might try contacting the Berkeley Macintosh User
Group or the Boston Computer Society, two well-known user groups that
certainly have such licenses.  Their addresses and phone numbers were
published in the original HyperCard User's Guide, which is now three
years old, so I can't vouch for its currency:

  The Boston Computer Society
  One Center Plaza
  Boston, MA  02108
  (617) 367-8080

  Berkeley Macintosh User Group
  1442-A Walnut Street #62
  Berkeley, CA 94709
  (415) 849-9114

This book also says, on page xxii, "you can call 1-800-538-9696 for
the name, address, and telephone number of up to three Macintosh
user groups in your geographic area."

2) HyperCard 2.0, in its "light" configuration, comes bundled with
the new Macintosh CPUs: the Classic, the LC, and the IIsi.
