Hi Jim/Scripters.

It's probably perfectly obvious to many of us Jim, :)
but I was just wondering,
would you perhaps mind elaborating with some more specific detail, as to 
what types of problems, this kind of JLS development, has enabled you to 
solve?
Like  I for one would find it really interesting, to hear of a few realWorld 
examples as to the types of solutions this kind of development structure, 
actualy facilitates for you?  And thus the client with the problem?

You say:

client's machine, including window attributes, such as boundary coordinates, 
style, type, class etc, and even the text in each window, done of course 
only under the control of the client.  But, they basically create a big data 
file that they send to me.  I put JLS in a special mode where all the window 
navigation functions, GetFocus, getPriorWindow, GetNextWindow etc, all 
consult the data file, rather than my own system.

GC, and I particularly wanted to highlight that last part as of concern to 
me too! Identifying colors in non-textual areas, has sooo much power when it 
can be utilized.

Thanks much for any clarification.
