Derek,

This is major good!!  The examples are usefully upgraded in relation to new
capabilities, and the documentation is both inclusive and well organized!  A
Very Good job!  Haven't even looked at any of the routines yet, but I'm
impressed.  This is going to take some time to digest!

I do think you should have kept the original examples *simple*, so as to not
overwhelm new users, and added your *intensely interesting* improvements to
them in as *new* examples.

For instance:
In ex.03, I *love* what you did to make the buttons *always* be sized to
show the text, (though it occurs to me that that is something which maybe
should be somehow be *standard* or default when the button is created, and
whenever a font is assigned to one), but I am still struggling to figure out
how you created the buttons, AND how you made them all the same size after
measuring each one's differently sized text individually.  Way too complex
for the THIRD EXAMPLE, I think, albeit *very* interesting & potentially very
useful.

And I *really* wish you'd left the cancer sticks out of ex14 & 16.  Kids use
this, no sense promoting addiction to death/maiming substance/practice.

But overall, (& I haven't *started* to scratch the surface), a SUPERB piece
of work!  You and all who worked on it with you are to be congratulated!
