Hi,

OO is a funny thing - it can take *ages* to get it - then suddenly the
lights come on, and your coding style is never the same again!
The problems in understanding MUI / BOOPSI stem largely from the
difficulty of implementing OO in a language which doesn't lend itself to
inheritance. (Calling functions "methods", and invoking them "sending
messages" doesn't help either!)

Looks like our web-page will have to include tutorials as well as source.
Which reminds me - I'm happy to put this page together, but so far
there's not much in the way of source to put on it - so:
If anyone has any routines, short programs or explanations of
poorly-documented parts of the Amiga's OS (or 3rd-party stuff like MUI),
which they think would be useful to others, *send them to me*!
All the best,
Windows should not be tossed aside lightly - it should be thrown with
great force! [With apologies to Dorothy Parker]
