Also, the current version (1.5?) of AppMaker (Bowers Development) support doing dialog & menu balloons. Personally, I use Rez (from MPW) and Resorcerer to do my balloons - not the most graphical approach but it is quick & easy (and I can use cut/copy paste to speed things up). -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Leonard Rosenthol Internet: leonardr@netcom.com Director of Advanced Technology AppleLink: MACgician Aladdin Systems, Inc.
