Re: HyperText Application - trying to remember

[obsbedia2@aol.com (Obsbedia2)]

I looked for a copy of this for a long time, but without success.  Anyway, I
think that we're talking about the same thing:

	In the September 1990 issue of Nibble Magazine, page 46, there is a write up
on StoryWorks and other programs by Rudy Guy and Jim Wiggenhorn.  Here's a
portion of it:

"STORYWORKS
	StoryWorks, distributed by the Teachers' Idea and Information Exchange, puts
"hypertext" programming capabilities with in reach of anyone who can type. 
Using the "classic" AppleWorks word processor, teachers can easily develop
"knowledge base" stacks, lesson plans, or self-scoring tutorial applications.
"....
	"As in HyperCards, segments of a StoryWorks stack are connected through the
use of "buttons"--one of the keys on the Apple keyboard or the mouse button. 
The size of a stack is limited by the computer's memory and the limitations
incorportaed in the AppleWorks word processor.  ...  StoryWorks stacks can be
displayed in 80 columns or in a 30-column "easy-read" text mode."

<< Can anyone remember back in the mid 80's (?)
I read a review in PCW (the biggest UK Mag) about a hypertext
application for the Apple. About the only detail (part from it's
hypertextness) that stuck in my mind was that it did it's
own disc formatting for you - so you could just stick in
an unformtted disc, and write data to it (after a delay!), which
was considerered cool.

I think it also had incremental search (a la Emacs), but I may be
confusing that aspect with something else.

Can anyone remember this better than me? Please?
