Re: Alex Wilson Hello Alex, To answer your question I do have experience with the Be API. I learned to program C++ on BeOS. The first program that I published on BeBits was Matching Columns (recently re-submitted). I also still have original copies of the BeOS Bible, Programming the Be Operating System, and Be Advanced Topics. I was very much into BeOS when it was out and spent quite a bit of time studying it. >>This sounds very much like Stack And Tile (try dragging a window on >>top of another while holding the Win/Meta key). If this idea is >>separate from S&T, please elaborate on how it is. That is exactly what I was envisioning. I thought I had a unique idea. Thanks for pointing that out. Please feel free to check out my code which is included with Matching Columns. Remember that was my first C++ program 11 years ago. :) Thanks For your reply. Scott
