There is good news and bad news on this topic.  The bad news is that you
cannot currently run two copies of HyperCard under MultiFinder due to a
problem with the sound manager, so only one stack at a time.

The good news is that at least we are aware of this problem and are
working on various solutions to the single stack/no backgrounding
problems.  Look for them in the 2.0 release of HyperCard next year.
