In the docs we got with our release version of MultiFinder, it says that you
CAN use MultiFinder and Hypercard on a 1 meg machine. The catch is you must
have 750K to use the painting, authoring, or scripting tools. The docs  say you
can configure Hypercard for 550K if you only want to browse the stack.
     
Another problem with Hypercard and MultiFinder is that if you open an another
application using Hypercard, you aren't returned to Hypercard when you quit
that application. You have to restart Hypercard from the Finder.
     
Clearly, for Hypercard to be useful under MultiFinder, you need more than a meg
of RAM. If  you only need to browse the stack for info, though, you can do that
on a 1 meg machine.
     
Hope the info helps.
