[Openmcl-devel] default directory

[Joakim Sandgren]

thank you gary,
I did looked at the methods in the openNSPANEL class but I didnt find  
anything mentioning "directory"...
but then i'm not at cocoa expert... (either..;-))
I will look at this and try to figure it out.

it seems to me that easygui is a package that is made a little ad hoc,  
"for now", to resolve urgent needs now. and the gui package is part of  
the "real" cocoa communication in clozure ccl...
and perhaps in a future better version the easygui will be obsolete  
but the gui package not...

I am of course still waiting for some window functions in ccl, and for  
the moment being I dont know on wich horse I should bet...
could someone enlighten me?

Very Sincerely
Joakim
