Indeed. I stand corrected on that point, given your comments above and
now going back to look at your prior posts. This helps to clarify my

If you are so motivated, you might consider subscribing to and
contributing to the R-SIG-GUI list:

As I mentioned in the post I just sent, this is a cooperative "venture"
in which things happen because people selflessly contribute their time
and energy to make it happen.
