What you probably *have been hearing about has been Visual Basic. The language 
allows you to develop the interface by picking items from a tool bar, then 
filling in the `guts' of the code. You worry about algorithm development for 
your data instead of what size your dialog box needs to be. I'm not sure on it, 
peformance, we expect a few copies in a couple of weeks. I'll try to post on 
our experiences.
