While fiddling around with MacWrite II last night, I was amazed to see that
its help filw is of type STAK, despite the fact that MWII can use it
directly (you can also open it with hypercard). On poking further, I discovered
that MWII resources contain lots of references to HENG, which I presume is
Hypercard ENGine. MacWrite II contains a fair subset (playback only) of 
hypercard.

Does this mean 
(1) Claris were expecting everyone to be able to run MWII and Hypercard
simultaneously when they originally developed the help
(2) Parts of hypercard will REALLY become systems software for other a
applications to call on
(3) Add your own wild speculations here!
