To answer the question, we would need to know the OS. It's really > more of an OS issue than a language issue. more precisely, it's a GUI library/display issue. VMS and Unix don't care what display you are using; X Windows, Gtk, Qt do. Only on Windows is the GUI tightly tied to the OS, and that is changing as Gtk and X Windows become easier to use on Windows. Best thread in a while :). -- -- Stephe
