I also updated the documentation and added a chapter on the programming
interface. See:

As before, the latest cvs snapshot is available here:

With the new task button element, it's now really easy to set up
background processing for bulk updates of table cells, as illustrated in
calendar.q, and in fact you can do *any* kind of asynchronous processing
with or without user interaction quite easily (a simple example showing
this is the "countdown" button in guiexamples.q).

In addition, the action buttons allow you to set up any kind of custom
action to be executed just by clicking on the button. The result
returned by the Q expression associated with the button becomes the
value of the cell containing the button. guiexamples.q contains two
simple examples for this, a button which produces random numbers when
clicked, and an "open file" button which invokes the Qt file open dialog
to obtain a filename from the user.

Enjoy! :)
