Does anyone know if hypercards allows a user to associate a button with a 
particular word in a text field?  This is a generic operation in most 
hypertext systems and would be crippling to hypercards if such a facility 
was not readily available.  

I seems that Apple has underpowered the text facilities in favor of supporting
extensive draw utilities. has anyone else found this hampering?
