Hi!

If you use nasal you can display a "tooltip" by calling gui.popupTip(), 
e.g.

print_wow = func {
     gui.popupTip("Current weight on gear " ~
                  getprop(weight_on_gear) ~ " lbs.");
}

I think it might also be nice to use a nasal wrapper for the PTT key 
binding (like most things in controls.nas), that way a user could more 
easily add more bindings for PTT (e.g. a joystick button).

Cheers,

Anders
