Hi Jacob,

On 27 Mar 2004 15:06:59  (my local time 22:06:59), you typed::

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Very, very well said and it
coresponds exactly with my thoughts. Let me just add another thing:
There are more ways than the windows way of handling the gui. I'm
thinking about the Mac way, that at least up to system 7.5X was pretty
standard and few applications left that standard which meant that
Outspoken, (no matter how primitive that app was), could read and
access most progs. I thought that X-windows worked along similar
lines, but i could be wrong.
