My apologies; from your original message I didn't know step 2 was compulsory. I thought in step 2 you are considering FreeVision or some GUI desktop app. > 3.

Just curious as to why you think a terminal app (FreeVision) would be faster for data input than a well designed GUI desktop app? I have built many desktop GUI apps thats sole purpose is to input data. For such apps I streamlined the interface so there are no popup dialogs that require a mouse, keyboard navigation being a must, enter key also inserts data and moves to the next data field, focused widget optimization etc. If they get distracted by the desktop, a simple F11 keypress makes the app fullscreen. I'm not saying a terminal app is the wrong way to go (I have many terminal apps I still use on a daily basis, even in my Gnome desktop), I just wanted to know your thoughts on the subject. -- Regards, - Graeme - _______________________________________________ fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://fpgui.sourceforge.net _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
