Just for clarification. PythonCard is not HyperCard. The first goal is to
produce a framework. We have runtime tools (Message Watcher, Property
Editor, Shell) and a layout editor (resourceEditor sample), but we don't
have an environment yet.

You can use the resourceEditor sample to build layouts for your
applications. Follow the tutorial provided as part of the counter sample.

PythonCard is using HyperCard for inspiration, but the project is only about
seven months old, so it will be a while before we have a complete
environment.

If you browse the archives, you will see some messages in the last month
that discuss the future of PythonCard.
