G.U.I. instructions make up all of the steps for doing any of the first
code examples in vbdotnet.doc file on empowermentzone.com. I brailled
most of the steps for one of these and the rest of it is going on a
second full sized page of braille. Admittedly I used computer braille
since no other standard was ever described for compressing this stuff
and am thinking I'm going to have to start collecting common phrases and
frequencies and start constructing some nonambiguous abbreviations in
order to decrease the real estate consumed. I'm not so much concerned
about the small projects, it's when those get far larger just using
computer braille will become unwieldy. Beginning vb.net had the hello
user project in it and I got down to just before putting the label
controls on the form and didn't get that on the first sheet of braille
paper. If I make anything of this work once it gets going I'll update
the list and probably put that material up on a website so anyone else
can download and examine and/or use if they like it. Some of Grade 3
braille word abbreviations can be used without going into too many of
the word forms like o=on. I just didn't want to reinvent the wheel.

Can you elaborate on what you mean by GUI instructions?
It is definately possible to completely code in a .NET language without
the Visual Studio IDE. It does provide some advantages such as
IntelliSense, but also comes with some disadvantages. I guess each
programmer has to weigh the pros and cons according to their needs and
style.
Personally, I use a text editor and the layout containers, which do
automatic positioning and sizing of controls according to general
guidelines. This also makes a GUI more portable to other platforms than
code that is pixel specific.
