Hi! I am currently doing my masterate in Computer Science and am intending
to do my thesis in the area of Navigating Hypermedia and implications for
the User Interface.

At the moment, I think that there are a variety of tools that need to be
provided to users in order to accomodate the varying needs of different
classes of users, tasks, etc. One of the many tools that seem to be
needed is a map facility which enables a user to see where they have been,
where they currently are, and where they may go from here.

As a special project, I am thinking of developing such a map facility
for HyperCard. However, I'm sure that someone must have attempted this
before, and if not then why not?

Would you share any ideas you have about all of this with me? I'd be very
grateful for any comments, suggestions, hints :-), etc. Or any suggestions
as to what might be a better / more interesting / more useful project?

Thanks a lot!

Alan
