Re: How to pick a window?

[AM <amacphee(at)my-deja.com>]

OK, I guess I asked for it :-)  I'll check the books (including yours; I
bought that a couple of weeks ago too :-)
Just for some encouragement before I try this, is there an easy way to
translate something like

window
tvscl, indgen(256,256)

into 'widget speak'?

Thanks,
Andrew
