It sounds as though this is the Home stack that's shipping with the
"HyperCard Lite" package in the box with new Macs. From the preferences
card, type    magic    into the message box and press return. This hides
the opaque button that covers the buttons for userlevels 3-5 in the
lite Home stack. After hiding the button, you'll be able to select
your preferred user level.

If, for whatever reason, the "magic" handler doesn't work, type
"set the userLevel to 5" into the message box, then choose the button
tool and move the opaque button aside/delete it/hide it/whatever.          

By the way, the version licensed to user groups to distribute is the
full package, and the Home stack does not lock out the higher userlevels.
The Claris version to ship soon presumably will not have this lockout
either; only the package shipped with new Macs has this -- uh -- feature.

Apple: the only computer company in the world that would bundle software
this good, and then do its best to make sure users won't discover how
good it is. *sigh*
