I would do this but, alas, I don't know how to create a window in a 
gworld other than by moving its coordinates off screen. What bothers 
me more is the redraw delay when moving between years with the little 
arrows.

community. I would love nothing more than to create as a group a 
helpful program that could promote our language.

Thanks for the thoughts.
