Look and Learn . . .

[Petrides, M.D. Marian]

Yes, indeed, you COULD script HyperStudio but the scripting language  
was Logo--and unfortunately by the mid-90's finding books on  
programming in Logo had become virtually impossible. I found but one  
in the Dartmouth College math department library --none in the main  
library and none available for purchase--this was long before Amazon  
came along.

So, for me, HyperStudio had a million dollars worth of promise  
(literally), but was unfortunately worth next to nothing on delivery.   
I never understood why they didn't make their scripting language more  
HyperTalk-like.

My 2 cents.
