I'm a fairly experienced Mac programmer/HyperTalker.  I'd like to learn the new
features of HC 2.0 so I can use it for my clients, but I'm somewhat confused
about which resources are more cost-effective.  

Ideally I'd like to find the new "HyperCard Script Language Guide" and a good
book which has examples.  I know that there's a language guide included with
the developers kit, but that's fairly pricey and I've heard that much of the
stuff is redundant for someone who already knows how to program HyperCard. 
Most of the commerical books I've seen in the store seem to cover HyperTalk 2.0
as sort of an addendum to a lot of HC 1.0 stuff, so that's not too useful to
me (i.e. I don't want to spend $30 just to get 20 pages of HC 2.0 stuff).

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!  (If you can, please email, not
because I don't read these groups, but because I do this all over slow modem,
and the quicker I can get my mail and get off the cheaper it is for me! :->).

Thanks!

Robert
