DA> DA> OK, I'll wait patiently for now... While you do that :-) Could you perhaps tell us, other than the great idea you have for the layout changes, what other changes you would like to see. Who knows, you might tickle the fancy of one of the other programmers :-) From my point of view, I like to hear what people want M to do. Perhaps we can toss your ideas around in here before committing them to the wishlist formally. And lets face it, from experience many years ago when I did program commercially, we all enjoy a break rom implementing big items and sometimes like a few small diversions to do while we think more on the big jobs in hand. If you never tell us, we'll never be the wiser :-) Even if you don't choose to do any coding at present / ever, I would appreciate your perspectives on the praticalities of implementing Python through Pyste. How is it btter / worse / different to SWIG?
