This is a feed back (with quetions) on my first experiments with cells/celtk 
on mswindows and acl 7 trial.

- asdf installation of the lisp files is straight forward.

- Of course, I had to install tcl and other software I did not know before 
(e.g. darcs). 
  The togl.dll took me some time, but I had the spinning gears demo running 
after 
  about 4 hours. I was so happy!

- Documentation for cells exists and is helpful !!
  After a study of ltktest-ci.lisp it was easy to do my own sample GUI with 
buttons, radios
  and labels.

- I never did a gui before. I only went through the interface builder demo of 
allegro a while ago
  and my impression was: I don't want to do that and avoid it as long as 
possible. 
  Now I'm completely surprised how easy it is to set up a gui, and the 
automatic 
  actions and updates made by cells are pure fun. 

- The only problem I encountered so far is with the text entry widget:
  alphanumeric key strokes get through to the entry field only occasionally. 
  May be only one of about five key strokes is shown in the entry field. 
  Backspace and cursor left/right work correctly, however. 
  This also happens in the moire demo of ltktest-ci.lisp. 
  What can I do to improve this ?

Summarized: celtk is great, and I would be happy about some help on my last 
item above.
