Would it rea lly be that good to have Hypercard for the Apple //? Hypercard seems to be the MAC version of Basic. I realize that it is much more powerful but it was design ed much later than Basic after equipment had improved greatly. By comparing it to Basic I'm referring more to the principle than technicalities. Like Basic, it allows just about anyone to write programs quickly and easily. I think thoug h, that with time, the limitations will start showing up. Will it be that the more you use it the less you like or trust it? (Like Basic) Anyway, It's an angle to consider before devoting the time and money to learn it. Bob Church CS656@OUACCVMB
