I am only getting close to using some unix tools like grep
Would it be useful to grep for the OnSize method to see where, and to 
what degree, code may be affected?

I am wondering if the code would require something like
if [osIdentifier] = macos
   ... set the sash "manually"
   ... does this mean hard-coded, or
   ... that the user drags screen objects around
elif etc

Though people would love for the code to *not* require os-specific 
lines, I wonder there will always be such a need, and how best to 
handle it. Options?

1) I could add, to the page
http://hherb.com/cgi-bin/twiki/view/Gnumed/OperatingSystemsAndPlatforms

...a stub for OsDependentCoding and within this we could build up a 
list of any problems to date. We did already recognize an issue with 
mac from cvs and this makes 2 items so far.

2) is there a smart way of handling such things in the code, for 
example, for people to be able to test their modules against an 
inventory of commands, functions etc that are known to be potential 
problems and to help them determine if any special/multi-os 
requirements have been covered off?

PS I am back from camping. Suffered only brief (heavy) rain. The main 
nuisance was having to wait ++ for ferries owing to the campground 
being 2 islands away.
