 That would be a very nice addition to Hypercard, Dan.

I'm sure the object manager helps make Hypercard faster than it
might have been without it.  I would not, however, classify Hypercard
as "fast".  Especially when using it on an AppleShare file server.
Hypercard has become an integral part of my computer system, but it
could be a bit faster in sorting, searching, etc.
