Each node has user-settable parameters (see what pops up when you double-click on an Overflow node). As I mentioned before, these parameters are 'represented by XML' tags and translated into Gtk widgets so that the parameters can be set. This XML makes up the 'XML representation of a GUI'. The XML can then be arranged according to the arrangement of nodes in a network. The result is a 'composite' GUI. This seems to be difficult for everyone to grasp. I'm not sure anyone on the Loci list understood me either, except maybe Gary. Gary, can you explain this differently? Jeff -- +----------------------------------+ | J.W.
