I have downloaded the sources (wish XEmacs had a Hg/GIT repo, I would have updated directly from the repo) and gave it a try. Emacs does not have "display-error", I will create an Emacs variant of it and continue. I have started playing around with it and will bug you when I get stuck. For the UI part, I do not have an answer and no experience in X. I was wondering if we can have a start time flag which can map the keyboard and mouse to a port instead of the real mouse and keyboard. We can have a program that can feed the events to that port. The 'select' will be listening on that port (instead of keyboard/mouse). Looks like it is theoretically possible but not sure if practically feasible. -dky -- Dhruva Krishnamurthy Contents reflect my personal views only!
