That would be nice ;)

As you'll see in a few days, I'm abstracting away events in win32gui.
So porting to another platform should be easier (not easy, but easier ;))

In the long run, also, I want to abstract some of the win32gui concepts 
(as said before, one of them would be save_dlg).

Best,
John
