Well, the answer to Q1 is in HELP * HIP_NEWS :-) Do:

    true -> hip_system("currentStoryboard")("canAuthor");
    "normal" -> hip_system("currentStoryboard")("menuBar");

Well, you can look at how it's done in the Tours production... In the
HiPWorks V1.2 there is a "hipPropBox" storyboard property which enables you to
treat the current storyboard window as a Propsheet propbox. I'm afraid I can't
remember if the Beta version had an equivalent --- it may well be done by some
horrible hack in that version.
