when you program with EasyPtr, it is very easy to create dragdrop-routines where you do as if you'd really move the contents of a menuitem by setting the pointer to a sprite. I have done this in Launchpad with the Icon Move routines. If the contents of the menuitem is already a sprite, this

Thanks to all the people who have replied to this thread. Nice to know I can still stir things up! Just a pity that the subject was hijacked into a discussion on printers although there were one or two other good suggestions. Thus a 2nd attempt to get answers. Let me be more specific why I

I was thinking on the subject of what next for the QL. I think we really need something that acts like a web browser. This means the display of text and graphics in the same viewer. There was an attempt a few years back at writing a web browser for the QL (from Italy I think), but it really
