The MIT Media Lab developed a language called `Boxer' which does precisely this. The basic unit is the proceudre, analogous with a Lisp function. The procedure is represented by a box. To loop, etc, you enclose the box inside the box that represents the procedure you are writing. The editor does not have to be bitmap-orienbted, though it probably is. You do not need any function that is not available through Termcap. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From Ken Johnson, AI Applications Institute, The University, EDINBURGH Phone 031-225 4464 ext 212 Email k.johnson@ed.ac.uk
