Actually when I did the early versions of what became FractalPro, I did NO special programming for the Intuition user interface (menus only at that stage, but some requesters, too) to exist on the HAM graphics screen right along with the fractal image. My approach, though, was pretty simple – just do it. The menus and requesters did cause temporary streaks to appear on the fractal image when the menus or requesters were on screen and in use, but it caused no other ill consequences. I have no objections to how Pagestream works – I use it every day. I haven't used a wordprocessor in years, since I began using Pagestream. Now I neArt Expressions … I think Ben is just making a point and he is correct – you can surely do the programming necessary to make Pagestream work in HAM. I'd do a better job of it if I was doing it again and assure (using mouse menu click detection, etc.) that when menus get pulled down that temporary action is taken to eliminate even temporary streaks. It can be done – it just may not be worth doing from your point of view. PageStream is a terrific product regardless. That's not the issue.
