Right STeve, that's all we are talking about – standard guidelines on user interface writing. It would also be nice to have some of these things provided with the system, so that developers would not waste too much time redeoing the same thing. I guess, the best thing would be to put one's code, where one's mouth is and devolop such a document and a corresponding library. Then everyone could use it. Just like it happened with ARExx, which now is the "standard" glue for putting things together on the Amiga. BTW MAC also has a bunch of standard text handling routines (on the other hand< i don't think that there is "ReadPixel" and "WritePixel" routine on the MAC). I use a MAC at work for drawing simple diagrams, and for project management stuff. These programs are pretty easy to use.. .. Richie
