I'm not quite sure I know what you mean. Can you give any more details
about what this product does?

There are third-party script editors for HyperCard, that replace the modal
dialog editor with something more flexible that lets you do things like put
more than one script on the screen at once, see a list of items that have
non-empty scripts, and so forth. Is this what you mean?

I believe there's also a stack by Dan Shafer, which was released in the
first few months after HyperCard came out, called Script Expert. This stack
contained tutorial information on the various commands and their form, and
let you write a handler by clicking on buttons corresponding to the commands
you wanted to use. Does this sound like what you're looking for?
