Hi Xavier, Andy... and all,
I think that "old" HC tutorials may be useful!
For instance, I put on my site the 70 tutorial stacks I wrote for the french edition of MacWorld between 1993 and 2000.
Since less than 3 months, there were more than 2000 stacks dowloaded.
Unfortunately, all this is in french only :-(
Best regards from Paris,
PS. For info, here are the first 50 subjects among more than 200:
How and why to set the parameters of a handler How and why to write a function? Mastering repeat control structures Mastering condition control structures Mastering pass and exit control structures Understanding variables Creating a report Marking cards Organizing programming Mastering demos and/or examples Recursion and recursive programming HyperText ASCII code Naming menu items: traps to avoid, tips and proper etiquette What is a stack in use: tips and traps to avoid Everything you want to know about using text in HyperCard AppleScript in a stack: Why and how?

True they are relics but not useless in any way...
I just posted them for their scripting techniques, not their utility value.
