I'd like to see a horizontal scrolling bar added, and some more text management options, like aligning ,mixing fonts, and tabulating. I think that now, that HyperTalk compilers are available, HC will soon become a tool for real hypertext editing, so text management should be improved. PAINTING -------- I think that object-oriented painting, rather then bitmap would be nice. Maybe I just got used to working with objects, so I'm not sure... anyway it will sure make cards printing faster and will enable to get better results on the LaserWriter. CARD SIZE --------- How about adjustable card size? I wish I could take advantage of the bigger size of the Mac II monitor. Well, that's all I can think of right now. Generaly, like I said before, I think HyperCard is great. O.S. BTW: I am very gald to recive such fast responses from Apple. It's good to know that you realy care. However, I have a problem to response to your mail to me, as the return path seem to be wrong. could you please send me the right path for mail from you?
