Hi Marco,


Well, it's not that easy.  Right now we would have to write a 
separate program to show the splash window, call up the main
program exw, and then vanish.  I suppose it can be done without
too much trouble, but then you would have to use this technique
every time you opened a program.
Also, my long programs showed the user interface as the rest
of the program was still loading.  Im not sure how this would
be rigged the way it is now, unless a 'dummy' user interface was
brought up with one program and that program could then call the
main program.  That would be a lot of work though.
Im pretty sure binding helps too, but i didnt really want to have
to bind all my programs.  The way i do it with 2.4 is i simply 
open the exw program as usual and everything opens just fine.
With 2.5 it takes between 1 to 2 full seconds to open, meanwhile
nothing appears on the screen except maybe the 'busy' icon for the
mouse ha ha.  I hate that.


Take care,
Al
