I couldn't remember whether SuperCard's IDE was written in SuperCard or 
not, interesting to know. I must confess I've never really had any 
experience with Toolbook or Gain Momentum... Although I think I digested 
Toolbook's reference guide / dictionary at some point (by reading, not 
by actually eating and digesting!).

In any case, looks like we have a bit more work to do before we can 
truly claim we are unique amongst x-talks on that particular vector...

Warmest Regards,

Mark.
