Ideas?  Did I hear a call for ideas on how to improve Hypercard?

Button, field, card, and background variables.

Menus as objects.  Popup menus.

Standard highlighting behavior of buttons.

Named parts of variables ("firstName of thisPerson", or something like
that).  Ability to display these in fields easily.
