Wow thanks for the link! Surprisingly useful (for something from MS :D) I've been doing research and I understand it will be a huge effort. I've already applied to the windowless Rich Edit project, which will most likely be easier than this, but I think this one will be more exciting because it's more challenging :) I'm more than willing to continue after SoC if I end up working on it. I don't have to implement the newest version either, with support for classes, etc. If I just implement VBScript say up to 2.0 that's within reach, I think. Thanks again! Jim
