- Is it at all scriptable? (I currently have my kids booting up my home
- system with a floppy and stripped down Sys 7. This puts them into a
- customised HyperCard stack. This stack isn't too fancy, but it does send a
- 'quit' to the Finder and uses some externals to change the bit depth of the
- main monitor to correspond to the requirements of the particular
- educational game they are starting up, to check that the right CD is loaded
- for 'A Silly Noisy House' and to change the 'name' file for Kieran, etc. I
- can't expect a lot from them since the two oldest have just turned 4 and
- 6.)
-
- Or would I just use it as a way of letting them start up the machine and
- click on 'their' button to boot the HyperCard stack?
