    Well, your best bet would be to use Hypercard, because of the level
interface control you want to have. And in fact this is the kind of
pseudo-database work that Hypercard is really good at. It doesn't look
like you need to do a lot of data crunching or cross checking or other
heavy database type stuff, but you do need ot be able to define a number
of things about the interface that the use will work with and keep track
of locations and stuff like that. Based on the choices you mentioned
above Hypercard is probably your best bet, unless you want to do the
thing in MPW or Think C.
