What about hot links?  I don't know if SYSTEM 7 does this in HC (I prefer to
wait 6-9 months before putting the developer version of anything on - just LOVE
discovering bugs in the middle of a prototype - is it my logic or the
environment?  Anyhow, howabout having cards/fields linked with something like
the subscribe or edition functions from 7.0?
I change a field, and the change is noted everywhere.  Actually, I think there
are a couple of features that could be stolen from 4th Dimension like stack
links.  I think HC can steal the standard for being a real OODBMS, but REAL
object definition and linking would be important to me.  Oh, one other thing -
make stacks multi-user.  I can't complain too much, though - $800 per copy for
4th Dimension to get these features is a far cry from $50 - but HC does have
a HUGE jump on everything else in terms of time.  So while some of that may
have been lost, HC is still mentioned in OODBMS and OOP articles...another
reason to keep my SE and IIcx instead of getting a NeXT (with Improv free!)
