That's likely because noone cares about what you want. Bloody bastards! While I'm here, let me give another suggestion (besides the use of Emacs, which I gather you think is not a GUI application?): GNU Poke. I'm pretty sure this time it *really* doesn't do what you asked; but OTOH, there's a good chance it might be useful for what you're doing. Stefan
