As in, don't crash. -Better error recovery from SizeWindow() and MoveWindow() .. As in don't crash if the spec is out of bounds. -A 'depth' parameter for windows. All this would do is inform the layers routines how many bitmap planes are to be used for SMART_REFRESH and SUPERBITMAP windows. Everything else is already taken care of by the rp_Mask field in the rastport. It would also be nice to be able to specify which bit planes are to be used, but that isn't a "minor" addition. String Gadgets: I was unable to construct a string gadget of length and cursor box of width 1 (character) such that when the user types a character the box does not scroll to the right (goes blank). Can anybody tell me how to do that? or is it a bug in the string gadget. -Matt
