Thanks, Dave.  Yeah, I did use text_gui, FF was started some 3 years ago
I think, back when there was no win32lib or dos32lib and text_gui was
the best thing going.  I subsequently wrote so many dialogs for it I was
loath to change, and well, it's now familiar and easy.  Plus the fact
that dos32lib does not yet support some controls (which ones were they
again?)

Text_gui did need some massaging to work predictably in graphics modes,
I seem to recall correcting some half-dozen or more minor bugs and
adding as many modifications over those years.  My overall vote for
text_gui: most excellent.

I expect to move FF to the Windows platform as soon as the Win32 gui
wrapper coalesces to some final form.  It would be interesting to see
text_gui running in Linux, but it is debatable how many people would use
it considering the advancement of Llama...
