Well, if you want to use my toolkit you can actually go out and buy a book
telling you all about it - XView programming manual, O'Reilly & Associates.
Sorry, couldn't resist it. Now can we stop with all this stupid "my toolkit
does whatever" business?

Well, I've learned damn quickly to love it. Just goes to show that these
things are not absolutes, doesn't it? Perhaps if we all realised that what
we personally like and dislike doesn't really matter then we'd get something
decided a whole lot quicker?
(as well as auto-window topping.. this is a totally STUPID idea!)
Now there I agree, but I'm quite happy to let the individual user make his own
mind up. If your library enforces your likes/dislikes then its flawed.
