Doesn't sound too hard to do, even though I've never written a WDEF from scratch. Plus there's a newer version of the NeXT WDEF that handles color that I could probably replace the old one with. Perhaps I'll put the button in the color NeXT WDEF... > Er, I recently attended a very impressive demo of a NeXT cube here at St. Olaf > and I know that I could start putting together applications that worked well in > about a day or two. But they would be applications constructed from NeXT-supplied objects. I daresay they wouldn't be radically innovative. I'm talking, here, about development on the order of WriteNow, which they probably showed you at the demo.
