Hi there.  A couple of years ago I picked up a book which helped
to explain how a GUI is written for use in DOS.  The book is
called "Graphical User Interfaces with Turbo C++", and is written
by Ted Faison.  Some of you might have seen it.  Anyways -- the
book got me started, but now I've moved onto much more
complicated issues than it handles.

I'm working on a graphical environment for use in several of my
applications.  So far I'm doing well with what I've got, but I'm
a little unhappy with the "management" of windows and stuff, and
so I've been working on my own GUI design.  I've hit a couple of
snags, and what I really need is some inspiration.

Can anyone think of a good textbook or technical reference on GUI
design?  I'm looking for aspects such as discussion of
appearance, as well as discussion of internal protocols, general
workings, etc.  Pseudocode is desirable -- C++ code would be even
better.  But neither is really necessary, since I'm confident
that I can write the code itself on my own.

If anyone can think of a good book, I'd love to hear from you,
either in the newsgroup or by e-mail.  Thanks for everything!
