You might want to also look at the SIMPL toolkit (http:// www.icanprogram.com/06py/lesson1/lesson1.html). You could use Send/ Receive/Reply (QNX style) messaging to add a Python GUI to a C program. There are examples of just this at the link above. bob -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
