And I think NeXTSTEP preceded Delphi by several years, in fact. Of 
course, OSX's present-day interface builder app is a direct NeXTSTEP 
heritage. But we're way off-topic now, I guess :)

but that is not the point. I just first could not follow, how they 
work with widgets, and then I found out - they have separated code 
and widget definitions. At first it looks strange .... it is like 
having 'feel(s) , event maintanance, app logic, without seeing what 
actually you are working with. But I do understand, why they keep 
widget defs outside in external file, which is kind of simple (as 
VID is), with static positioning - it is very easy to import to visual 
GUI builder ....
