I took a look at Instant just recently.  And I just bought Borderbund's Memory
Mate.  It looks like Memory Mate is an advanced form of Instant.  Among the
improvements made by Memory Mate are:

1. Hypertext (haven't used it yet)
2. multiple databases
3. a configuration program (let's you change the hot-key to ALT-letter, among
other things)
4. putting all of the menu items on a single screen
5. wild card searches
