 I am involved in a project in which we want to use HyperCard as a
front end to a database and Expert System (Nextpert Object).
 In the system it would be desirable to switch, under Multifinder, to
one of the other programs at the user's request. For example at a
certain point in the database it may be necessary to transfer control
to HyperCard and show a particular card/stack.
 
 Does anybody know of a way to do this "forced" switching? LSC does it
when transferring control to it's debugger from the editor so it is
possible.

 I do realize that this "feature" may not be totally in line with the
Mac Interface Guidelines, think of it as an intellectual challenge if
this upsets you!

 I will appreciate any suggestions. Thanks
