I think you will most definately want to use Toolbook.  I am currently
under the employ of two professors here at the University of Illinois,
converting Hypercard stacks to Toolbook.  The reason I say is not because
I think Toolbook is great (_slow_), but because the makers of Hypermedia
offer a program aptly entitled "ConvertIt!" which does a lot of the 
work for you.  Then all you have to do is hire some undergraduate putz
to go in and take care of the rest!  (That would be me...)
