Techniques and Examples
IdleThreads for SuperCard, and 
IdleThreads for HyperCard: a library of deferred-task handlers. This is kind of fun to play with, and introduces a few useful concepts and tools for having the computer perform work at idle time. These ideas have been optimized from the older IdleTasks project into a more flexible set of handlers which allow you to manage sets of tasks by name.
SuperBench, a Benchmarking tool for SuperTalk - enter two different SuperTalk code fragments and time them against each other to see which one is faster, and by what percentage. Very handy for optimization.
Hidden Field Editor, a handy utility for creating, deleting, and editing the contents of hidden fields in your SuperCard projects. A great tool for storing "preferences" or other user data.
MaskMaker, a utility project for creating masked PICT files, which can later be imported in draw rectangle objects while retaining the mask effect.
ScriptReplace, a utility project which performs a search-and-replace on all scripts in a project, or you can optionally restrict the search to objects of a specified type.
