One of the exciting new developments in user interfaces is the so-called
penpoint or gesture oriented user interface.
Somebody wrote a subclass of the EZ text object that undestands gestures
for scroll up, scroll down, scroll to top, scroll to bottom, select,
cut, and paste.
It's a little tricky to get going, so I have not set it up so you can
try it yourself yet. Is anyone interested in seeing a demo?
I hope this will not be another technology implemented early on in ATK
that no user will get to use until it is re-written in 10 times as much
code in an industry standard toolkit. :-)
