:-(
BTW: For me it started as an exercise to become familiar with GUI
programming in Morphic, now I'm *really* trying to improve the standard
tools...

I have just missed d&d in standard Squeak.

This sounds interesting.
What have you cleaned or planned to change in morphic?

Me, too. It is quiet a lot work to do it for *one* GUI. But if we'd have
a layered more abstract view onto d&d, it could be possible to write
most code for standard widgets once... (just a dream ;-) )
But I think its natural to concentrate on and to improve to *one* GUI.
Then the results should be better as if already forced to be compatible
till the end...

Good question!
For me I have to say: I don't know, if I'm working on a more generalized
d&d!
It works automatically in my mind, but at the moment there are just too
many open questions for me and I'm feeling not far away enough from a
newbie regarding these topic (for some more thoughts see other mails of
mine).
Greetings,
