ADEW may be what you are looking for. Try looking through the documentation in andrew/doc/adew, starting with the overview, and proceeding through the tutorial and the reference manual. You can use the buttonv object, which can deal with icons if they have been converted to characters in a font. Paste a page object in your application where you want your button sets. Next, paste in an lset, split it up, and paste in the desired buttons. Then use the paste option on the 'Flip' menu card to paste in another lset for your next set of button. The documentation should get you working from there. Tom Neuendorffer

One thing I dislike about lsets (and lpairs) is that the lines always
show up. Is there a way to have invisible dividing lines for lpairs?
This would makea collection of icon-buttons look much nicer.

Is there a way to have invisible dividing lines for lpairs? Not currently, though I have recently been thinking along the same lines. I'll be fixing lpair to make this optional, and giving some thought to the best way provide this functionality to ADEW applications. Tom

>One thing I dislike about lsets (and lpairs) is that the lines always >show up. Is there a way to have invisible dividing lines for lpairs? instead of using lpair, use bpair. This is a subclass of lpair, which overrides the update methods to get rid of that line. It's part of the standard stuff, probably in supportviews or somewhere like that if you want to hunt up the source. Documentation... Hah! :-) Nick. --- Nick Williams.

Hah! :-) Oops, I seem not to have documented bpair, which I wrote as a part of lookz. The complete documentation can't be said any much better than what Dave Gross has already said. Fred Hansen
