Where To Get Some Resources To Learn HyperTalk?

Question

Hello,

I'm now emulating a Macintosh IIci(System 7.5.5 68k) and now I want to learn HyperTalk(HyperCard), but I don't know where to start, then if someone can help me I will be very happy! :D

Answer 1

HyperTalk is the embedded scripting language for Apple's HyperCard application. Most of the commands control HyperCard and you will have to understand that application to make use of HyperTalk. Probably the best HyperCard book ever written is Danny Goodman's The Complete HyperCard Handbook.

If you are just interested in controlling old Macs with scripting, investigate AppleScript. This was supported on 68K Macs running System 7.
