- a page reference to the manual would help here, in liu of it, I should
- point out that the TCL is well suited for implementing applications which
- allow multiple independant documents to be simultaneously open. Each
- document can be comprised of multiple windows, and floating (independant)
- windows can also exist.

- CTable/CArrayPane are indeed a possible way to implement alternatives to
- the (ugh) listmanager. Since they are data-ignorant abstract classes, you
- must implement a subclass to provide data specific functions. You will
- probably also implement a CArray subclass to manage the data, you could
- look to the StringDemo portion of the NewClasses Demo project for some
- ideas.
-
- An alternative to CTable is available at ftp.brown.edu, I think the class
- is called CScrollList.
