I must differ with Steven about "Hypercard is not hypertext, nor
hypermedia. Can you do animation with it?"

Yes, you can do animation with it. Yes, it supports text, graphics,
animation, sounds, music, control of external devices, etc.
That qualifies it as hypertext and as hypermedia.

It may not have the features you want, but don't underestimate what it
is. Which, by the way, is "a phenomenon". You wouldn't believe the amount
of activity in this area. Exponential curve.
