Ok. I'll post it (where no-one will find it?) to the wiki. I wouldn't want
to spend time writing up extra documentation. But then again, without it, it
may not be very useful.

By the way, I've come across the following on the wiki:

""""
The Builder should be operable completely by a non-programmer so that GUIs
can be built by experts in Visual
Interfaces, Content, Layout. Not your average programmer or, worse, the
expert Java engineer.
With this in mind, the controls, capabilities and features of the GUI
Builder must be on a par with products like
DreamWeaver and Photoshop, not your average NT Resource Kit app.
Widgets must be scriptable: they would allow byte code to be embedded so as
to support presentation logic (show(),
hide(), etc).
The Builder will produce no generated code but resource files easily saved
and restored during editing and,
when instantiated for display at runtime, equally saveable and restoreable
by the same API calls.
""""

Little remark: I'm not looking for a new Visual Basic. SWT, as is, is good
enough. The day someone manages to write Eclipse in Visual Basic, I will
change my mind.
