Ok, disclaimer first: I've never used HyperCard as a programming
interface, and I just bought my first Mac (a IIsi).

I'm slightly confused about a few things.  First, by the discussion
that I've been reading here, HC2.0 has a programming interface.  This
interface is not at all documented in the documentation that I got
with my IIsi.   Kevin from Apple claims (indirectly) that HC2.0 is not
necessarily upward compatible with HC1.x. So, Apple has given me HC2.0
(thanks:->) but it is apparently useless to me as a programming
environment since I don't know how to use it (thanks:-<).

Given the useless information above, I have three questions:
1) Kevin mentions a maintenance release (2.0v2).  How can one get
   this?
2) Is there any Apple documentation on the programming interface for
   HC2.0? If not, what is the best source of information for
   programming HC?

3) Previously, in this newsgroup, someone mentioned a problem with 
   HC2.0 and System 7.0b1.  Are apple users in general supposed to get
   System 7 for free or what?  I was also under the impression that I
   was supposed to get System 7 for my system, but it didn't come
   with? Should I expect it in the mail from Apple, or will I have to
   call them to get it? (I bought my Mac on 12/12/90)

Thanks!--
