Rob,
if you've done SuperCard, I'm thinking along those lines; Shipping the
SuperCard application, but not the SharedFile, Project Editor (Runtime
Editor??) nor SuperEdit. That is, we'd implement all editing dialogs etc.
as OpenCard stacks and those wouldn't be shipped. If the user uses the
editing hooks for their own stack, that's OK.

I'm not sure all scripters will like that. Some of them would like to sell
their sources in protected form. We'll have to allow for that (i.e. "remove
sources" should be an option when saving standalones).
