Here is the book which every HyperCard user has been waiting for - a clear, comprehensive yet compact guide to HyperTalk, the language that is used to write scripts and thus create new HyperCard applications.
There are entries for every HyperTalk command, as well as for all HyperCard objects, properties, functions and operations. Each entry consists of a short definition, followed by a description of the way in which the term is used in HyperTalk, an explanation of alternative forms and usages and a definition of associated parameters. One or more brief script examples complete the definition. The entries for HyperCard objects, such as cards, fields, and buttons, and those for properties, functions and other, more general terms, used in HyperCard, are even more substantial and, taken together, provide a comprehensive account of the language.
The dictionary section, which forms the bulk of the book, is preceded by a short introductory section outlining the main features of HyperCard and newcomers to this revolutionary approach the personal computing will find that this book provides the ideal introduction. For the experienced use it will serve as a convenient and comprehensive work of reference which is also packed with invaluable tips and other information not available in existing documentation.
