------------------
First, I am an old Hypercard programmer and still use it for some things. 
It will only run on Macs but it will do almost anything.

Another option is HyperStudio.  It is x-platform and gives you several 
options with an easy learning curve.

I have started working with a new package called iShell available from 
Tribeworks.com.  It is different from anything else I have encountered and 
takes a bit of learning but it works quite well.  Best of all, it is free.

There are also Authorware and Director from Macromedia but they are 
expensive and have steep learning curves.

I am still looking for the perfect environment where I can do everything, 
x-platform, costs little or nothing, and is easy to learn.  iShell is 
pretty close but I still wish Apple would update HyperCard.

Good luck.

Tom Browne
