Quote:Mark, I want you to know that your input in this forum has been very helpful. Since you are the lead programmer, your little input could save us a lot of grief. Erika's inputs also have been invaluable. Also, while going through the Programming Guide and particularly appendix 2, one could not help noticing the awesome power of Sesame as compared to Q&A and simplicity and ease of use just like Q&A.
As far as instant printing on paper, workaround using merge with external word processor or Programming printing commands might be workable but having own built-in word processor with a few inbuilt programing functions to receive merge-fields from other layout elements make Sesame more functional without much programming and a lot less intimidating to new users.
For Q&A users, Sesame is a boon, more so for non-programmers, never-the-less computer enthusiasts. Thank you again for the great product, that I believe will exponetially get better with new versions.
Exponentially better might be a pretty tall order - but I do hope that we'll get some of the rough edges cleaned up and then on to some really neat features.
I'm glad that we (Erika is my partner here at Hammer Data) can help. It is always heartening to hear someone say that it is easy to use. Ease of use was a primary project goal, but it is also a difficult target to hit. I hope it will get easier and easier with each passing release.
As to adding a word processor, we may by 2.0 or so be able to add a simple word processor - something like the text editor used to edit SBasic. That would be usuable for very simple merge documents. But the difficulty comes in when people start trying to use a simple word processor to create sophisticated documents with fonts and graphic, tables and charts. So rather than spend the extra year or two it would take to build something that complicated from scratch, we opted to try to work well with existing programs that already have all those word processing features.
