Dar, Alexander, et al:

If it helps at all, the instability you may experience relates to the 
Runtime Revolution development environment, not the underlying 
MetaCard engine.

Prior to RunRev's release, when many people on the HyperCard List 
looked at MetaCard as an alternative to HyperCard and were turned off 
by the UI, I suggested one could set up a basic stack structure 
(cards, controls, etc)  in HyperCard, import the stack to MetaCard, 
and add scripts, color, & finishing touches.  Once the basic 
structure is in place, it's just you & the script editor, leaving 
others to encounter and squash any bugs in the rest of the 
development UI.

Considering all they are trying to accomplish, I think the RunRev 
team has done well to bring us as complete a platform as they have. 
OTOH, I will note that, like blind persons exploring an elephant, we 
will each encounter different levels of instability depending on 
which features we are using.

Personally, I'm waiting for you to beat all the bugs out of socket 
connections before I ever go there, Dar.            :{`)
