It's straigtforward, easy to use, easy to learn, and it works. Richard hesketh is working on an interactive design tool based on Wcl (Dirt!) but I've found that just editing the Wcl resource file is quicker. I introduced Wcl to a developer and a technical writer here at convex, and in both cases, in two days they had working prototypes of the interface they had in mind. Sold. Done deal. I'll buy it. Thanks to David E. Smyth for a fine piece of software that makes my job easier. Dan
