Bingo!  They are the very people I most wish to foil!  Perhaps I 
should have worded my questions better :-)

I never distributed a plain old stack in Hypercard, always 
standalones and I had my own security system.  Obviously I am porting 
the system to Metacard, but as some of the architecture is different, 
I want a thorough understanding of the changes so that I can create 
the best security system possible in the new environment.

As a shareware author, hackers are a problem that you think about 
BEFORE distribution.  I've heard many authors say their sales dropped 
50% when a hack came out.  Other authors have different opinions.  I 
err on the side of caution.
