For example, page 68 contains a couple good examples. Unfortunately the OLIT widget set does not contain a widget that creates a base window for you. I want a menubar, a bulletin board with horizontal and vertical scrollbars that operate on AS-NEEDED policy, and a footer area. If I don't get a pointer to a better way, I'll build this as follows: ..Form contains a menu attached at left, right, and top, plus a footer attached at left, right, and bottom. Both menu and footer are attached to each other, with footer widget having varying height, but menu having fixed height. ..Footer then contains a bulletin board, plus a fixed height static text. Samples would be appreciated, as would suggestions to help build this quickly. Are there good code samples generally available somewhere, other than those that match John David Miller's "OPEN LOOK at UNIX" book (got those already)? Thank You, ..AlanC P.S., I'm on OLIT 2.5 if it makes a difference (which it shouldn't, right?) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Alan D.
