With the greatest of pleasure. HyperStudio is a 6-disk "Multimedia
authoring" package for the IIgs. That means that it lets you create
paintings, show text, do some programming, move from picture to picture,
play and record sounds, etc. It's a great system for many purposes, from
making notes on a subject that interests you to creating educational
software. It is available commercially from Roger Wagner Publishing.

It is in the same category of software as HyperCard IIgs, which is
available free from the Apple Computer web site.

I'm not sure about the DeskPak Desk accessories - whether they're a set of
desk accessories for the GS published by StyleWare or a set of TimeOut
applications (small programs that install _inside_ AppleWorks) by the
Beagle Bros. I'm sure that someone else will tell you that.
