"Hyper-Structured Graphics" -- This was new to me, thanks! Essentially, hyperlinks for shapes; any graphic element can be linked to another, including other drawings (documents) or sections of a document. I suppose that's obvious these days. Hyperlinks are expected. I know that Visio (Windows) and OmniGraffle (MacOS) can do this. I would build active computer network diagrams, dashboards: you could click on a computer's graphic and get an SNMP report.

I think MacDraw did links, too. HyperCard, sure.

Great, thanks for the info! I used Tgif for exactly that, designing SNMP monitoring with network maps/dashboard like pages. Forgot exactly which combinations I implemented, but it envolved Tgif, Tkined [0], Scotty [1], Big Brother [2] and later Netsaint [3] (now known as Nagios).
