That's a shame.  Do you know of any framework (platform specific is 
fine) that makes it easy to write clickable graphic applications?  I 
used to love the old Macintosh Pascal, because you basically said 
something like "open window" "get mouse location" "draw line" -- things 
I can understand.

That's been my experience, also.  I'm attaching an IFS that I didn't use 
in Paul Bourke's Fractal contest, since it was just a spiral IFS "pushed 
up" a bit.  I'm hoping that if I can visualize them better, I'll be able 
to make them better.  We'll see.
