Actually, multiuser is an issue in the situation you are describing, since
you are asking the same copy of hypercard to open and use two stacks at 
the same time. To fix this, place two copies of hypercard on the hard disk,
one with a name other than "hypercard." To ensure that you each use a
separate copy, run hypercard by double-clicking on the application icon (not
on the stack). Open the stack from the home card or by selecting open from
hypercard's file menu.
