There is a "test sample", in samples/testNotebook - it hasn't quite made 
it in to the set of samples visible from the Samples Launcher, because 
it's just a demo of using a notebook, rather than a real, even if 
trivial,  useful use of a notebook. I'd welcome suggestions for good 
sample program using Notebook (especially if it came in the form of some 
source code).

The resourceEditor (and newer layoutEditor) have support for it, called 
a Notebook.

actionbindings and command text were in 0.8.1 
The samples use command text extensively (even the walkthrough was 
updated to use commands), and see also
     PythonCard/docs/html/framework/events_and_handlers.html
for a (very terse) description; the samples are the best place to see 
how to use them

Not so sure about actionBindings - I haven't used them.


The walkthroughs do indeed still all use the older resourceEditor - 
they'll get updated to the layoutEditor sometime in the next release 
cycle, I think. The changes needed for this will be minimal - the 
walkthroughs cover the scripting needed, and the menu Builder in more 
detail - I think there's only one screenshot showing the propertyEditor 
window, and a couple of paragraphs of detailed instruction that will 
need changed.

We could do with an extended walk-through for a slightly larger, and 
more interesting problem. This would probably be a good thing to do when 
we introduce sizers - build up a layout with a fair number of controls, 
get the code done, then convert to sizer-based.
Suggestions for a suitable sample welcomed ....
