WARNING :- This is one of those "Please help this poor  guy  out"
letters.

At Lancaster University England we have started  seriously  using
Smalltalk.   The  problem  we've hit is the lack of documentation
which  describes how to create powerful user  interfaces  to  our
requirements.

The best source we've found so far to what we need is Chapter  15
in  "Smalltalk-80:  The  Interactive Programming Environment". It
was a bit of a shock to say the least to find that the  forthcom-
ing  book  "Smalltalk-80: Creating a User Interface and Graphical
Applications" does not exist.

What we want to know is how to create good user interfaces to our
applications. So if someone could send some (well documented) ex-
amples that would be appreciated.

Many Thanks in advance

Neil
