I am working on a HyperCard application where I need to pass control
to Hypercard from within a script and then have control passed back
to the script at some point. In other words, I want to call the
Hypercard main event loop or evaluator or shell or whatever you want
to call it as a function from within a script.

The goal is to create a hierarchical system of cards where a script in
a card at one level can control the order of execution of its sub-cards.

Is this currently possible or is it another one for the HyperCard wish
list?
