The routine in your program TxED which displays directories is bar ooops by FAR the *BEST* directory requestor I have seen on ANY piece of Amiga software yet, and I think I have just about seen them all. It would behoove ALL amiga developers to take a look at what happens when using TxED when clicking on the 'open' option. The directory requester pops up, names immediately start scrolling into it, the slider bar is already active, you can click on a name WHILE others are scrolling in, you can change dir paths WHILE all this is going on. I mean it is 100% immediate, interactive, and BEAUTIFULLY done!! Compare this, for instance, to the directory requestors in the beta Musicraft (abyssmal!!) or even Deluxe Paint, or to the absolutely HORRID version in Online, Analyze, and Scribble ! (no slider bars whatsoever! what was going thru the programmer's mind when he pulled that one off??) Charlie, you are to be congratulated on writing a routine that is simultaneously Elegant, Functional, and EXTREMELY user-friendly. ALL other developers should look to this as the one to emulate!
