I also asked once about some problem on this list recently, and only Ken
answered.  His answer did not solve my problem, and I decided that other
things were more important to me at the moment.  I am somewhat astonished
that this list seems so abandoned by LTk developers and users.  Maybe you
could find more help at comp.lang.lisp?
