These visual tools are not (only) intended for clever and patient professors who read entire reference manuals before programming. They must be the most intuitive, self-explaining possible. Precisely, if you cannot fiddle almost randomly for 2 minutes without crashing the GUI builder or bringing the project to an unrecoverable state, it's definively not ripe! Think you should convince pointy-haired bosses and employees who Scott Adams draws with big eyes... BTW: I did some constructive reports for CLAW, being an ideal idiot as for visual programming... _____________________________________________ Gautier -- http://members.xoom.com/gdemont/
