But, then, does anybody really create a Macintosh Application from scratch anymore? With things like Skel and such around, when would I ever be writing the code to do that. I did it, just to learn it. After that, I never wrote one again. The only difference is that Apple seems to have put this stuff up out of the ROM and made you write the code. Commodore didn't. Curiousity: Doesn't MPW have code to allow you to do just what was written in the Byte article (ie, "A window was resized. Great.") -- "I'm a shot in the dark without you Peter Merchant A rebel without a clue."
