It doesn't use hypertalk; you can't import stacks from hypercard; you can't
import newtcard stacks to hypercard (well, not unless you write your own export
utility). Frankly I was disappointed. They have a free demo so you can avoid
wasting your money. And btw I love hypercard this is not the answer I want to
give you.
You'd be better buying NS Basic: it has a visual gui and is a mix of basic
(for all the basic stuff) and newtscript (for the gui elements). Plus you can
buy NS Basic in a package deal to get a cheaper rate on NS basic for palm and
wince.
Sorry, I wish the news were better. <ot plug: try revolution or metacard)
