Is it at all scriptable? (I currently have my kids booting up my home
system with a floppy and stripped down Sys 7. This puts them into a
customised HyperCard stack. This stack isn't too fancy, but it does send a
'quit' to the Finder and uses some externals to change the bit depth of the
main monitor to correspond to the requirements of the particular
educational game they are starting up, to check that the right CD is loaded
for 'A Silly Noisy House' and to change the 'name' file for Kieran, etc. I
can't expect a lot from them since the two oldest have just turned 4 and
6.)
Or would I just use it as a way of letting them start up the machine and
click on 'their' button to boot the HyperCard stack?
