This works fine on my Power Mac G4 Cube running OS J1-9.2.2 (or OS X with Classic). Thank you! Smile

For posterity, here is a HyperCard survival guide, courtesy of MikeTomTom in response to a question about "The Manhole":

With most Macintosh programs the keyboard command to Quit a running program,
is "Command + Q".

With HyperCard, additional keyboard commands you might like to try, can be:
"Command + H" = Return to the Home Stack
"Command + R" = Show recent cards you've visited (and go to any one of them)
"Command + M" = Show Message window (type one line commands and execute them)

Depending on the current stack you are in, a stack's programmer may have scripted these commands to not execute. "Command + Q" should always work.

Go to last card of the Home Stack, set your user level to 5 (with a full version of HyperCard only, not the Player [exception]) and set Blind Typing to True.

Level 5 in HyperCard allows you to program stacks using HyperTalk and Blind Typing allows you to execute single line commands without evoking the Message Window. For example: A single line command such as "show menubar" (without quote marks) and then Enter or Return key to execute, may be useful in menu-less situations. Again, a stack's programmer may have scripted certain commands & even Blind Typing to not execute.

This includes LiveCard, PDF manuals (I have paper manuals from 2.2; these are from 2.4); and Acrobat Reader 3, as well as HyperCard.

Oh my gosh! When I got my ( disfunctional ) SE/30, it came with a HyperCard disk. BROKEN. The SE/30's drives were BOTH DEAD. Now on my SE SuperDrive, I can finally resurrect it! THANK YOU!
