*Gail,
HyperStudio on all counts, items 1-3. We have LW running on our
ICLAS Novell network, no trouble, but nobody uses it.
In my experience neither HS nor LWL have any wide use outside
education. MacroMind Director and other powerful programs are used to make
sophisticated multimedia projects. For schools, consider also mPower and
Digital Chisel. **
