This NDA will probably be most helpful to folks who don't have the Script
Language Guide published by Addison Wesley...it gives some basic examples of most
HyperTalk commands, properties and functions. If you can, I do suggest that you
try to get a copy of the Script Guide, or failing that, Danny Goodman's HyperCard
book for Mac version 1.2.5 if you are really interested in scripting HyperCard,
as these books will really help you learn how to do some amazing things with this
great development tool. As noted in the NDA itself, this began life as a
HyperCard (Mac) stack, which was turned into a Mac DA. I have now brought it to
the IIGS, with a few addtions (the page number references to the Script Language
Guide) and editorial corrections. I hope that you will find this useful, and that
it will help you in scripting HyperCard IIGS stacks for your own pleasure and
benefit. Just make sure that this gets placed in the Desk Accessories folder
inside the System Folder of your hard drive, and you will be able to begin using
it. You can also select text and use the Edit menu to copy it out and put it in a
stack, or to print out the whole thing for a printed reference. I adapted John
Siemon's TextDisplayNDA using REdit and Hermes.
