Highly recomended.

Sticky Buttons is a *clever* virtual enhancement of Hypercard's model, 
since fields can now be made (to appear) to contain buttons.
This one of the most awaited features, has arrived at last, 
albeit through the back door!  In addition to its application value
this is academically relevant.

The Regions package is a *brilliant*  application of the bitmap 
to region which takes advantage of HC2 Xternal windows, well
thought out and properly done with script editing to handle events,
and much more. Future enhancement could make this  a good vehicle for 
handling colour from HC.
