There is a simple moral to this story: one can write a user-hostile interface in any language. Java is not unique in this regard. The fact that Java allows many people to quickly check out a program (as opposed to having to somehow acquire and install it) may be both its great strength and weakness -- if you do a bad job, a lot of people will see it very quickly! -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul L.
