If on the other hand the PE gets its makeover then there wouldn't be a reason not to enhance it further... Before anyone says anything I have PAID for ProWesS and the apps before it was open source so I really like it in order to buy it :-) I didn't just buy it for LineDesign but because the underlying principles are the way of the future for the QL I believe :-) >I have nothing against PE/WMan programming.

Come on people, take the time to try it again on your new >QPC/Q40 and realize that is it a fabulous Window Manager. > Well on the Q40 (at least mine) I tried to load it and it's impossible to get it to work. It seems that some bugs were re-introduced on SMSQ/E v.2y99 (I just found out) that makes it impossible to work... or maybe it's just my system... I used Paragraph on your Q40 Phoebus and it worked, although I was not to sure how many of Paragraph features were still " not implimented" but Linedesign had problems, invisable menu's that worked if you could remeber what was in them were interesting, some incompatabilities with GD2 do doubt. All the best - Bill ( QLing again soon )
