I figure Python is probably somewhat the preferred language these days for GUIs given the large number of 'nix desktop apps that have been showing up in python of late... Last time I wrote a gui was in VisualC 6.0, so it's been awhile - with VisualC it took about the same amount of time to write all the coordinates for a GUI in the code as it did to draw it and hook up the code; hopefully things have gotten a bit more streamlined - hoping to spend most of my coding time on string parsing, not gui building... Thanks, Steve
