Re: Any interest in hypercard GS?

Yes, I am interested in HC2GS.
 
Any version Hypercard reference will do in general, although a couple of
features may not be available (mostly those which deal with multiple windows).
 
Re: writing a database - no reason why not.  I wrote a quick Conference
registration database using HC Mac v1.2
(sorry, bad terminal... that's HC Mac v1.something).  I never got to test it
with a large information base, since an alternate program was eventually used,
but it can be done.  The biggest pain is having to maintain a blank card to
copy every time you want to add a new record, and placing buttons to allow you
to correctly navigate through the beasty.  Search routines are not hard, but
printing is a bitch, since HC loves to print graphics so much.
 
If you really want to learn, just put yourself in authoring mode, look through
the example stacks, and start building - the on-line help is about as complete
as help ever gets, and is always available.  The biggest difficulty in starting
to learn is figuring out the various levels - stack, background, and card, and
how they work.  Once you've got them down straight, you can create until you're
blue in the face.
 
Have fun!
