Well, I've been using accept-values-pane and accepting-values :own-window t
in CLIM for a few years now (never used interactor at all) and got
to wondering what the magic was. So I played around a bit and
found that accept-values-pane was very simple to implement with
most of the hair in converting to/from completion ptypes.
I think that is mostly solved now as well.
Now that with-output-as-gadget has a chance of working in McCLIM, this
mostly portable code could be messaged into a McCLIM
accept-values-pane.  McCLIM's accepting-values mechanism was not
up to handling with-output-as-gadget when I last checked in December.

I can send you what I have if you are interested. It may be of some help.

I guess I missed that in the spec. Can you give me a pointer?
