Funny, thing happened when I thought I would try this.  Hypercard performed
exactly how I expected.  This is what I did.

1. Start MacPaint and copy an bitmap image, then quit MacPaint
2. Started Hypercard 1.0.1
3. entered into the slideshow stack
4. created a new card   (didn't want to paste over the current card)
5. Pasted the picture
6. Pictured appeared on card perfectly.

This is on a Mac SE, with a 20 meg hard drive, running finder 5.5
Now I am not sure how to check that I had about 600K free in the
application heap, but I do know that Hypercard takes up a 780K
partion under Switcher, so maybe the previous poster did not have enough
memory and Hypercard was working OK.  Any other ideas?
