Thanks anyway. I'm taking a look at text.py in the anaconda source code tree here: http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/anaconda.git? p=anaconda.git;a=blob_plain;f=text.py;hb=HEAD I'm afraid it looks as though newt was primarily built to display a series of forms in order, like an installer does, so it is inherently limited by that interface. However, it might still be what I can use... -- Harishankar (http://harishankar.org http://literaryforums.org) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
