Thanks to Richard and Frank for advices, -although they present me with troubles galore. Why would I want....? The answer is, that I am trying to transpose a HC stack, which I have been developing over the last 10 years, to a cross-platform free-ware tool for a new kind of electronic diary, where keyed-in text and clicked in icons/pictograms (formed as characters in new fonts)- and distributed as buttons by the user-, are converged in an always time-indexed textfield, on consecutive daycards, with a series of options for one click time-indexed quoting to selected memo-fields and week-calendar, options for parsing in the accumulated multi-font text over moths and years, and screen-size windows for on the spot localized icon annotations - and possibly: hand-drawing - within the geometries of various topologies, primarily own body, body of family member, layouts of home and garden, neighbourhood, workplace etc - with these topologies serving at the same time as windows to contain more - and more specialized-user-distributed icons, relevant for a given topology. A special screen-size window shall contain the 144 10-minute fields, where icons clicked are separated from the text, - thus forming an overview of icons inserted the given day. The point is, that users shall be able to browse back and forth through weeks and months in these windows, - and everywhere with a click jump to the corresponding central text-containing day-card window, or any of the other windows.
There are further details, like options for time-indexed annotating , with text or icons, to previous paragraphs, same or previous days, and for inserting paragraphs (icon(s) and/or text) to any 10-minute interval earlier the same day, where they belong in the time-sequence., integration with an adress-book etc. , options for automatic daily counting of cigarettes, drinks , pills or whatever icons selected for counting - and automatic counting of time "slept", i e. from go to sleep-icon to next days get-up icon. And of course options of creating links to other programs /e.g. word , photoshop, netscape, or whatever the user have going in their daily computer-use.
It is my hope, that the inclusion of physiological data, perhaps blootooth mediated, will be possible later - I have been fooling around with daily blood-pressure data, but only keyed in from reading the wrist-gadgets display.


As an absolutely non-professional I have of course to trust your judgement, - put I cannot stop wondering about "By definition, a card always fills the window," - why can card-size then apparently be expanded far far beyond the size of any existing screen?

P.S. : I think somewhere I saw some mention to the effect that user-data cannot be saved in a standalone????????? . I hope, I misunderstood it, - for elsewise I think I would have to leave revolution at once and look for other x-card options.
