Dear Squeakers,

I have always had a hard time learning anything until I had a project to 
do it around.  Well that time has come.

I need to write an app. that will let me run one application inside 
another.  I would like to have a cad type app. running in a window and 
then be able to over lay that cad app. with another app.  that lets me 
put hot spots on the cad app.  These hot spots will have the ability to 
show a colored outline around their perimeter.  That outline we would 
like to be able to turn on and off or make blink.  The purpose of the 
hot spot is to train people how to use the cad app.  by showing them 
where to pick menu items and enter data etc.

So the whole things runs like this, we start the cad app. and the tutor 
app.  The tutor app. step by step shows the student where and what 
bottoms to pic and where and what data to enter.  As they enter etc. the 
app.  actually functions and they are able to create in the cad app.  
Kind of a training wheel effect.

Can any one tell whether or not I could do this in Squeak and kind of 
help me do it.  I do have a nephew who is a good programmer but has 
never used Squeak of small Talk and I would like to get  him help me do 
this app.  start using Squeak.

Can any one point in the right direction?  I would like to do the same 
thing for learning Squeak.  Once we learn how to do it for the cad app.  
I will do it for the Squeak community and make it free.

Sincerely,

Chuck Smith
