I think the greater amount of incompatibility would be between Xthings written
for HyperCard 1.x versus 2.x rather than System 6 versus System 7.  I have read
that Xthingies which manipulate windows are a potential trouble spot.  Thus
far, we haven't had any problems, but we use a limited number of Xthings.
