Fair enough....I've got into a routine of copying existing projects, altering the GUI in the resource editor and then changing the behaviour in the code editor. I really should take a look at the layout editor one of these days.

My target platform is Windows and I'm building .EXEs, so my Mac doesn't get used much with PythonCard other than trying to duplicate platform-specific issues that others have discovered on this list. There are still problems (like the CoreGraphics single device context limit in wxPython 2.8.x) and it doesn't look like the GTK platforms are smooth-sailing either.
