Python is a great choice. Personally, given your requirements, I would make this a web application. In my opinion, HTML is the easiest way to generate a user interface on-the-fly. With a package like CherryPy, you get a web server built-in. You fire up the server in the background, and bring up Internet Explorer as "your" user interface. -- - Tim Roberts, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
