I just finished developing a small application in HyperCard for a
client in the financial services sector. The HyperTalk program that
controls it is about 780 lines long (the sum of all the scripts (stack,
card, button, etc.)).

I got this number by using one of the stackware to textfile convertes -
it seems to me that even with this fairly small program size it is nice
to have a combined printout of the entire program.

It might be interesting to know how long HyperTalk programs people are
actually developing. Knowing so would e.g. impact what tools needed to
be available.  If you send me a message with sizes of your typical
programs, I will summarize to the list.
