<<You see, the original question was apparently from a student,
and would'nt it be somewhat misleading to recommend the
Intermetric's level of approach for developing a Windows 95
application? Doing a Windows application has to do with
setting up a frame for responding to events and most of
this is done with the use of existing Win 95 components.>>

Actually I think it is valuable for students to study this level of
interface at some point. For more general programming, I think that
looking at Tcl/Tk makes a lot of sense. A number of people find that
it is preferable to program at this level, than to use GUI tools which
may not do exactly what you want in any case.
