;; DESCRIPTION:  
;;
;;   For information and the source to HyperBase and follow-on hypermedia
;;   work, see:  ftp://ftp.iesd.auc.dk/pub/packages/hypertext/
;;
;;   In order to use this package, you must have the HyperBase system
;;   and must start up a HyperBase server and then load the HyperBase
;;   Epoch support software that comes with the HyperBase system.
;;
;;   Then load this package and Hyperbole will do the following when
;;   in a Hyperbase buffer:
;;
;;     Action Key press on a button follows the link, within any other
;;     text, closes current Epoch screen and kills node buffer.
;;
;;     Assist Key press shows attributes for the current button or
;;     for the current node buffer, if no current button.
;;
;; DESCRIP-END.
