Today Hypercard and its close relative Supercard are used by professionals to create very sophisticated hypermedia products. Although many Apple Macintosh owners have discovered the joy of programming through Hypercard, the majority probably only use it to run Hypercard applications ("stack") produced by professionals or very knowledgeable amateurs. Only a small minority construct applications for their own use. 1, record 5, English, - stack

HYPERCARD se fonde sur la métaphore de la fiche «card», élément d'information de base correspondant à un écran; un ensemble de fiches constitue une pile «stack». Les liens entre les fiches sont contrôlés par les boutons, qui peuvent prendre la forme d'icônes, de flèches, de mots ou de zones de l'écran. À chaque bouton est associé un script, c'est-à-dire un programme définissant l'action que déclenche le bouton. Cliquer sur le bouton provoque l'exécution du programme et donc de l'action qu'il détermine : affichage d'une autre fiche, génération d'un son, accès à un séquence animée stockée dans un CD-ROM, lancement d'un autre programme disponible dans l'environnement Macintosh, etc. 2, record 5, French, - pile
