DrRacket does use `racket/gui`, which (as you say) is not Gtk on Windows. We had a user of DrRacket + Jaws many years ago. Unless I misremember, DrRacket worked ok with Jaws at that time, despite doing no particular effort on our part to cooperate with Jaws. We've reimplemented `racket/gui` since then, so maybe something relevant was lost in the rewrite (or maybe I misremember in the first place). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Racket Users" group.
