Could I get more clarification on the above description.  I just got the
upgrade notice as well and was seriously looking at ordering it.  Is it
really limited to only textually based application development?  If so,
can anyone explain why?  It seems somewhat crippled if it can only be
used for text based apps.  Almost all of the Windows apps. that I have
seen use some sort of graphical enhancement.  If it is this limited, will
it be updated again in the future to include the graphical capabilities?
I am not familiar with the Whitewater kit so that may explain why I don't
already know these answers.  I don't want to waste money upgrading now if
it's just going to be updated again in the near future.  Thanks in 
advance for any forthcoming enlightenment.
