First a side note.
Remember that "HyperCard" is 9 disks of approximately 5.5 Megabytes.
Downloading it over the standard phone lines would be quite a task.

Next, an opinion.
If Apple does indeed allow HyperCard to be "freely distributable,"
(shareware?  <snicker/heehee>), it would be best if they sold the
manual and documentation alone, say, for $30 at Waldenbooks or 
B. Dalton (book stores) or something.
