I got the feeling that someone detached from reality in some dark corner
somewhere got the task of preparing the index and thought it would be nifty 
to use FullWrite.  What I really don't understand is why Apple doesn't 
release the technotes or at least the index in a HyperCard stack.  HC was 
built for indexes (well, not only indexes, but it certainly does a good job).
