Reference Frame is a HyperCard stack (actually, a set of stacks) which was designed to store information about technical papers. The other stacks in the set are, the papers stack, the abstract stack, and the key-words stack. Navigation through this stack (and the others) is provided by the arrow buttons in the upper-right-hand corner of the screen. The next card is the options card, which is where one can start branching to the other stacks (the options card also contains various options and selections which can be selected by clicking on the appropriate button).
Before going to the options card, please take note of the icon with the question mark ("?"), also shown in the upper-right-hand corner of this screen. This is the help button and is used to provide "on line" information about all of the buttons and fields in these stacks. When the mouse is clicked on the help button, a new screen is shown. Clicking on a button or field in the new screen activates the help window for that object.
As you go to the next card (the option card), you will notice other buttons in the grey strip along the top of the screen. These are used to navigate to the stacks (or cards) named in the buttons. The text which is highlighted in black at the upper-left corner of each card, is the name of card or stack in which you are currently located.
Please note that the option card is where output of a reference list is initiated. The format of the reference list can be changed to fit virtually any style (including TeX output if desired). The format can be changed by clicking on the "Format Output" button in the next card.

There are several things about these stacks which have been customized for a select group of people. You may wish to change some of these things to better fit your needs. If you do, I highly recommend the book, The Complete HyperCard Handbook, by Danny Goodman. If you want to make some changes, yet don't feel up to hacking scripts, feel free to contact the author.
