Hold on hold on. "Window-switching mechanism"? That implies that you have windows to switch between. First, we have to have the concept of multiple programs running at once. Then the concept of each of those programs having its own isolated display, which you can then switch between... But yeah, "whose shoulders are you standing on" is the right way to look at it. Also: "are you offering YOUR shoulders to the next generation?" ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
