Mac OS 6.0.7 is capable of playing multiple sampled sounds simultaneously,
as witnessed by FinderSounds 1.3 which can layer up to 3 sounds (on some
machines - I'm not sure which, but it DOES work on my IIcx).  How can
I access this functionality from Hypercard 2.0?  I've yet to receive my
"official" copy of HC 2.0, so I don't have docs or even a help stack... ;-(.
I've browsed HC 2.0 books in bookstores, but I've seen nothing about 
simultaneous sound - I did see reference to an alternative Play command
(Fplay) from Farallon, but it didn't say anything about playing multiple
sounds simultaneously.  Any pointers would be appreciated...

Thanks!  -Lee (spector@cs.umd.edu)
