The editor is quicker on its feet, though the way it updates is sort of funny sometimes. Although I have not tried it myself, the editor can also use a different font. As you delete/insert move text around, idents are shifted around before your eyes very quickly. The Resource Editor is as wonderful as everyone said. You can choose a particular button or checkbox and plop 'em right in your window. Neat. TML Pascal II supports "Textbook Graphics Applications", which is sort of like the plain vanilla text applications supported by v1.0. You can turn this on just by putting a procedure call "graphics (mode);" (where mode can be 320 or 640) in the beginning of your procedure. By adding another line or so in the USES declaration, you can use all the QuickDraw calls. It's easy! -- Dave Seah | O M N I D Y N E S Y S T E M S - M | Internet: dseah@wpi.wpi.edu | User Friendly Killing Machines | America Online: AFC DaveS "MY GOD! I HAVE POCKETS!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!
