| Apple's HyperCard program has caused an instant revolution in the personal computer world. Included free with every Macintosh sold, this program has made the awesome power of the Macintosh available to everyone. |
| HyperCard works on two levels. The first is the level where users interact with pre-written HyperCard programs. The second skill level is scripting using a language called HyperTalk and is where the real power of HyperCard can be found. |
| Designed as a companion to the 400-700 page HyperCard books, HyperTalk and the External Commands is 70 pages of tightly organized reference information. HyperTalk and the External Commands can provide the new user with a less intimidating and less expensive way to quickly scan the capabilities of HyperTalk and the experienced user with a highly condensed and efficient way to find a specific piece of important data. |
| HyperTalk and the External Commands is a rugged, spiral-bound book intended to sit beside the Macintosh and be available for constant reference. |
| Update from 2001: Some of you may wonder about the name SOFTPRESS listed on the jacket of the book. We were originally planning to call our company SOFTPRESS, but shortly after the first printing, renamed it to HYPERPRESS. The cover on this page was imaged off of the first printing of the book. |
