Aye, I could see it's a non-trivial problem... :-)
Possible approaches include:

the quick install)

That's true, but at least the link in the doc should get everyone to

I thought about using the link to google, but didn't want to suggest it because
not everyone reads usenet news on google. I have to admit though, my ISP has

I just bunged the link into my browser (Firefox) and hit enter. I expect to
be able to do that with a link. If it doesn't work, I think, "Hm, a bad
link, bad editing too" and go elsewhere. Maybe it needs a footnote or
something, or just not be a link that (I suspect for many people) doesn't
work.
In the Guide, I've been putting refs to ooDialog chapter numbers. All these
now need to be re-done, as the ooDialoog structure has changed quite a bit
since I started the Guide.
It occurred to me that to avoid getting any of these wrong, I could just
delete them all, and make a bold-type statemen
I would think that you would need software that has registered to handle that
kind of URI.
Does the URI work if you type it in the address field of your browser. On my
computer it opened Mozila Thunderbird, which then wanted me to configure its
news group feeds.

In ooDialog there are several options when creating dialog A from dialog B,
and making dialogs modeless is simple. Chapter 6 in the Guide explains this
(I hope!!), and exercise 6 uses modeless dialogs throughout - except for

At the start of the Guide, I'd like to have a short statement about the
difference between dialogs and windows. Here's a draft:

Chapter 1 "About This Book" says (last item in chapter):

The comp.lang.rexx (news:comp.lang.rexx) newsgroup is a good place to obtain

The link news:comp.lang.rexx does not work.

I just installed ooDialog 7721. The User Guide exercises do not work because
the .ScriptMenubar~new instruction in several components is the old form
(with a sixth param). Btw, the code I just committed has fixed all
occurences of this.

ok, I will use a queue to pass infos from the external called routine.
For the test of RC in case of syntax error, I will add it in
RESULT_RC_SIGL.testGroup (if not already tested, did not analyze in
details).
Thanks.
