a few lww questions
1. Is there an easy (i.e. built-in...) way for an LWw-based application to trigger a connection to the internet (like browsers and mail programs tend to do)? 2. How can I make a window float (stay on top)? -- (espen)

You mean other than by (require "comm") and COMM:OPEN-TCP-STREAM? Make the user's modem dial automatically? In Germany, we send programmers to prison who do that ;-) Regards, -- Nils Gösche "Don't ask for whom the <CTRL-G> tolls." PGP key ID 0x0655CFA0

Within standard ICCCM it's fairly complicated but can be done by using ConfigureWindow requests to change the window stack. The downside of this is that you need to keep track of the window stack yourself. If you use a more modern window manager (something gnome or kde compliant) you can do it by setting the window type to floating. -- People don't bore me. I like people. - Really?
