Weekly, maybe WednesdaysTwo for the price of one:
1.Control-Tab replaces the old HyperCard favourite command tab (taken over by the system) of switching between the browse and pointer tool.
2.With either the browse or pointer tool control-alt drag anywhere on a window drags the window, very handy when you can't get the title bar.

Tomas Franzén has released a SQLite external for SuperCard:SQLite is a simple-to-use, lightweight SQL database engine. No configuration or setup is required, and the engine is embedded in the external, so there's no need to install anything. SQLite cannot connect to a remote database on another machine. Instead, databases are contained in files on your hard drive.
The external uses Chilton's bundle external to run, allowing tomas to create it with xcode. It comes with a nice example project and should prove very useful indeed.

The SuperCard Resource site must be the biggest third party source of SuperCard news on the web.
