Exactly, I totally agree with Charles. We don't need a complete 
editing/vector dnastrider like view, but a simple sequenceview (with 
line numbers) is very nice. And I was also thinking more in the 
direction of for instance a standard entrez search window, like I will 
use in the upcoming enzymex update. Think on things like the 
Addressbook lookuppanel. And yes, that should become IB palettes...

Oh there are plenty of things that can (and will) slow me down ;-)
