Could you kludge it? eg, change the C programs so that, every time they ask for user input, they include in the prompt a certain unusual string. Then, any time your GUI detects this string in the program output, it can pop up a dialog box asking for user input. (just a suggestion ... I don't know the best way of dealing with this) -- John. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
