  Yes, BUIs and GUIs can be coded that way. I know that I can do this with
gtk+.

  Flatterer! :-)

  My condolences. The only time I played with a Mac -- in 1989 using the
graphic artist's box at the company where I worked -- I crashed it solidly
in only a couple of minutes. When he asked in amazement how I did that, I
told him that I had no idea what the various pictures meant and I was just
clicking my way around when it died. Some of us are text-oriented, some
picture-oriented. I'm in the former group.

  Everything's intuitive -- once you know how to do it. :-) Actually, the
nipple is the only truly intuitive interface, everything else is learned.
