HyperCard came with 2 really useful stacks: Readymade Fields &  
ReadyMade Buttons.
These gave working examples of neat things that could be copied &  
pasted into your own stacks so get you doing stuff early in the  
learning process.

I would like to see a Revolution Home stack which like RevOnline,  
could open optionally on startup. It would contain buttons linking to  
the docs, tutorials, revonline, web sites and also contain a  
selection of simple objects ready to use.

Cheers,
