Well, I surely believe that Hypertalk would be an improvement. OTOH,
that's not saying much since the scripting language in FileMaker is
such a disaster that ANYTHING would be an improvenent.

I like FileMaker and made complex databases with it
but i can not imagine making a game like SimHarbor (HC and AddColor XCMD) using Filemaker. FileMaker is good for databases but HyperCard/HyerTalk gave you so much freedom. I have understand the mechanism of the merry X mas virus for hypercard and with the way FileMaker allow programming it is not possible to make a virus
