It's a nice idea, but I think the GUI components we briefly had were designed for implementing touch sensitive control panels so not necessarily an appropriate and sufficient set for an 8/16-bit mouse driven GUI.

The only way I see this or CG's oft-stated (3 times and counting) wish happening is as a by-product of some other development; if it happens I would guess it will probably have to be the development of an IDE ... and because the firmware doesn't provide the necessary hooks to support an IDE for MMBasic it would have to be an IDE for some other language.

That at least is my 2 cents ... I may of course be talking bo**ocks.

Best wishes,

Tom
