Hee hee. I do. I just got an idea via mail for a push-to-back button in the
title bar. Doesn't sound too hard to do, even though I've never written a
WDEF from scratch. Plus there's a newer version of the NeXT WDEF that handles
color that I could probably replace the old one with. Perhaps I'll put the
button in the color NeXT WDEF...

But they would be applications constructed from NeXT-supplied objects. I daresay
they wouldn't be radically innovative. I'm talking, here, about development
on the order of WriteNow, which they probably showed you at the demo. Definitely
not written in one to two days... :-)
