Wow! I didn't really think anybody would go for the idea. It wouldn't actually be that
much work. All you would have to do is write an application framework like mac zoop for
example and have the xTalk engine call these higher level commands as script commands
and functions.

Hmmm... no thanks :). It would be fantastic if we made a plug in compiler for MW
CodeWarrior. Then you could have a xTalk compiler in a great IDE with full access to
the
Universal Interfaces. Some how I don't see it happening. Well these dreams keep me
going
these days.
While I'm dreaming. Object xTalk is another dream of mine. Anybody got the address to
subscribe to the xTalk list?
