I not saying match VFP data. I want the look and feel of the VFP help. With VFP (almost all the microsoft help screens match VFP'S) you have a floating window with a spilt frame. With tabs on the left (contents, Index, Search) , and info on the right (a description of what the user selected on the left). The contents tab list general groups (data tools, string tools, samples, etc..). The Index tab has a list of all available functions, and other definitions and is searchable. Would you explain more, of you mean by "unusual (unpythonic) way of the use of classes". Maybe an example. -- John Fabiani _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/dabo-users Searchable Archives: http://leafe.com/archives/search/dabo-users This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/dabo-users/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
