Hello,
I am VERY new to Hypercard;thus this may be a naive question:

 I would like to "hook" my stack to a database ( large like 15,000 entries).
 Using Hypercard itself for the database seems like it will cause speed
 problems ( right???).  Is there a good way of doing this.  I would really
 like to interface to some commercailly available database package as it
 already has all the search/compare/extract routines in it.

 I am using a Mac plus with 6.0.5 and HC 2.0.

 Thanks for your time,
 Jennifer
