creating my own tools palette

[Xeubie Tsu]

Thanks, I'll take your advice and study transcript more deeply. Do you think 
the "Software at the Speed of Thought" book would help in this regard?

Also, could you give specifics as to how one creates a palette in rev? Is it 
really like creating any other application?

Thanks,
Oakes
