Hm, slang is actually amazingly easy to program for, it has a nice - simple IO model. Keyboard handling is quite simple too. If you need anything on that I can certainly help. There is a mostly complete slang doc that I found in the slang sources that is good for getting started. After that just look in the headers for the functions you want. If you desperately want overlapping windows/menus etc then maybe you'd be interested in the slightly finished APT widget library that does do this. But there is even less documentation :> Jason -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The S-Lang packages do not contain the documentation; there is good reference documentation available from the S-Lang source; see http://space.mit.edu/~davis/slang.html Ray -- POPULATION EXPLOSION Unique in human experience, an event which happened yesterday but which everyone swears won't happen until tomorrow. - The Hipcrime Vocab by Chad C.
