IMO, event-driven FP programs should be thought of as a mapping from E to M, where E is an infinite list of events and M is an infinite list of messages to the UI-Toolbox/Operating System. I've not given this a great deal of thought: I'm sure others can provide better thought out solutions. --Norm -- Norman Graham <norman@a.cs.okstate.edu> Standard Disclaimer Applies {cbosgd,rutgers}!okstate!norman
