Since you asked...

How about adding better multiuser-support for stacks on file server, like
AppleShare?

Specifically, I want record-locking (or maybe "card-locking" is a better term)
so multiple-users can have write-access to different cards in the same stack.
Currently (I believe) HC limits access to users at the stack level. Even better
(error) messaging to scripts that try to access busy stacks would be a help.
Anybody agree?

Otherwise, ditto to some of the other features listed in previous postings.
Especially, the ones about creating run-time versions that could run without HC
present, and faster executing code.

Claris, are you listening?
