    What?!?  Where did you get your copy of HyperCard GS?  It comes with a
390-page Reference Manual, 156-page "Getting Started" manual and a 171-page
intro to HyperTalk manual.  Not to mention two multi-panel quick reference
cards and 800K worth of Help stacks on disk... hardly skimpy!  But to answer
your question: sounds which are played with the HyperTalk "play" command must
reside as a 'snd' resource in an open file (i.e., the current stack, the Home
stack or in HyperCardIIGS itself).  You will need some sort of resource
editor.
