I am begining to implement an inner class of org.brailleblaster.wordprocessor.DocumentManager to handle UTDML. This will not have a visible effect for a while, but it is necessary for editing of both braille and print and for showing lines of print that correspond to Braille lines. However, I hope to find out before that how to scroll through large files in both panes. the ability to modify the screen wil be turned off so people no longer thinkthey can save changes. It will be turned back on when the machinery for transferring screen changes to the underlying xml files is in place. However, the ability to enter text on the screen when a file has not been opened will remain. I also have people working on internationalization or localization. John -- John J.
