... i have some working code... if anybody wants to contribute, just ring a bell. i'll create a repository for it (for now it's in the ui-iv-iu repository, inbetween other projects) with a bit of luck it can also be used as a replacement for the story editor... i will further work on it after the release of 1.6... except if 1.6 takes forever to be released... ciao a.l.e
