I doubt anyone's looked at that code in a long time. I'm pretty sure the
API for that library hasn't been documented either. It's not really a
priority so I'm afraid it might never get finished.

What do you want to do? The thing most people would do is talk to the
parent of the GenApplication object, which is the GenField object. You can do
some things using the GenField, but not much.

Same as the HyperCard stuff you saw, doubt anything will happen with it. I
believe it is an unfinished training project that was never documented or
tested. Again, not a priority so I doubt anything will happen with it.

What do you want to do? I would think you'd want to traverse directories
and read files and you do that with File.. routines.

I'm sure that's been fixed by now. Have you downloaded the latest docs from
our web site? http://www.geoworks.com/htmpages/devrel/docs.htm
