I was thinking of something that basically interfaced with the existing tools, nothing more. Just something that would be convenient for new users of FreeBSD GNOME to use to install ports, who would otherwise have no idea how to type cd /usr/ports/.../ ; make install! Has anyone been working on a similar app? I thought I'd try using this as something to learn with. James
