Let me rephrase ... do you explicitly *not* want the buttons?

(It may be easier to give you the buttons & everything.)

OK, that's not too bad.

But, the interface that you are going to use to talk to the app will be
the scripting interface. That is, you will send scripting commands to the
app.

If there are cases where the functionality you want is not supported by
the scripting language, then we will add the functionality.

Good.

There is a *lot* of hair in the startup code. For a long time I was too
afraid to take a look at it.

I recently went in and pruned some of that old hair. So the cvs head is
more a little bit cleaner.

Are there other parts of the project you could work on for a few days
while I think about it? This is certainly something we should talk about
next Wednesday.

Hey, I just thought of something.
Is there generic code for an applet container? That is what you want. You
want to embed the applet into your app. I bet you can find some code that
will allow you to do that. Look around on the web and let me know what you
find.
