I don't know about Dr. Dobb's book, but I purchased the Waite Group's
_HyperTalk Bible_ and Lon Poole's _Hypertalk_.  As much as I've gotten
into them, both are very good books.  Poole's is a 137 page quick
reference guide organized by keyword. It has the command, syntax and
and example of use for each command.  Waite's is a very large book
organized by topic.  I was particularly interested in the chapters
on visuals and simulation for this communications tutorial that I am writing.

I'm still looking forward to publication of Winkler's book.  He was my
TA in 68000 Assembly language on the thin Mac at Harvard during the summer
of 1984.  If he is as good at writing as he was in explaining 68000
and Mac Toolboxes, it should be a very good book.
