The Hypercard 2.0 Developer package includes (courtesy of Susan A.
Tenney of Dartmouth, 18/3/91, comp.sys.mac.hypercard):

Paperback manuals:
  _HyperCard_Getting_Started_ (189 pages) Beginner's tutorial through authoring
     level.
  _HyperTalk_Beginner's_Guide_to_Scripting_ (169 p.)
  _HyperCard_Reference_ (419 p.) Reference through authoring level 
  _HyperCard_Script_Language_Guide_ (583 p.) Scripting reference, includes a 
     section on XCMD interface
  _HyperCard_Quick_Reference_Guide_ (14 p.) Keyboard shortcuts, system
     messages, HyperTalk keywords and commands

The Hypercard 2.0 Upgrade package includes the above Script Language
Guide and a booklet summarizes in major differences between Hypercard
1.x and 2.0. I think I would like to get a copy of the new Hypercard
Reference manual; the upgrade kit booklet is too brief where some new
features are concerned (e.g., report layouts) and I like hardcopy
documentation (making me a living fossil, eh?). Does anyone out there
know if that manual is available unbundled and, if so, from what source
at what price?

Thanks in advance,

John
