Very well said. This is a good implementation of an n-tier partitioning level, where the user interface code/programming, is separate from the logic and functionality of the program. Apps done in such modularized compartments inherit the positive capability to become accessible from any interface or device, whether via command-line, GUI, thin or fat client, web-based interface, or hand-held device. mikol _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
