Thanks for all your for suggestions (a special "Thank you" to Bill Cheeseman).

My main problem isn't really with the script size (I haven't counted but I don't
think I have many scripts with more than 500 lines). My problem has been how to
organize them (I've always liked the organization abilities of languages like
Modula-2, Java, Ada, etc).

Anyway, I've started to reorganize things so it becomes easier to reuse and
maintain my scripts.

I couldn't agree more. I did a lot of Hypercard stuff 3-5 years ago but lately I
haven't dared to do anything since I didn't know if would work in the next OS
release.
