I think the closest you'll get to hypercard is <a href="http://www.apple.com/applescript/macosx/ascript_studio/"; target="_blank">AppleScript Studio</a>, which is free. But no more Hypertalk.

    Why would you want SimpleText over TextEdit?

    And BBEdit Lite doesn't do this?



    It's free, launches in 5 bounces, and saves in text only with the option of Windoze, Mac, and UNIX line breaks! Plus a killer search feature.

    Why not TextEdit? Just select PlainText as format for new Documents and "ignore RTF in HTML" and deselect append .txt to name.



    This way all new documents will be plain text display html files as source and you can name your *.html files like they should be named file.html.



    I really like TextEdit.

    Try iBuild for a substitute for hypercard.
