Python has GUI controls by default, which is probably how the ProPack stuff can display input boxes and selection boxes. It's basic GUI tools are certainly lame, but they would do in this situation (assuming you are simply talking about file selection type stuff) IM me your email address, Dodger, if you are still looking for someone. If midi is an open spec (which I think it is), you are correct that it should be doable. I do this kinda stuff for a living (mostly C++ but I've done more than I care to admit using various windows only stuff...VB, VCC, you name it) Heck, it could even be a php script on a web site! eric
