So... what you are saying is that *you* don't know how to do it. I program for Windows... that's my platform. When making an ICS interface I needed to have exactly what you describe, with the addition of clickable "hyperlinks" to accept challenges, take up seek offers, finger users etc. I tried using the MFC to accomplish what I wanted, but couldn't get it right... days later I just said "screw it" and did the whole thing up in a couple of hours with perl and the TK toolkit. Looks great - crossplatform. (*not* advocating Perl/TK over anything else. I'm sure you would do much better with what you use than I would, just as I can do better than you with what I use. The point here is that to blame Linux when the problem is that you really just don't know is silly.) Jason W.
