Eric, I updated SVN for kommander & the plugins.  No problems, and I'll let 
you know if I hit any bugs.  I'll be glad to go over the docs and examples to 
see if I can spot anything that would lead to questions (though I won't be 
able to get to it until tomorrow).  

Also, you sent a portion of createWidget code last week.  If you can give me a 
working kmdr file that does what you were building, I'd be glad to 
tutorialize it (don't know if that's a word, but you know what I mean).  I 
was able to take your code snippet, and create a simple combobox in a table 
with no problems, but didn't know where you were going from there.  I'll also 
take a look at popups to see if I can help (haven't had a chance yet).

Finally, is there a 'destroyWidget' (planned??), since dynamic creations tend 
to accumulate (like rabbits).  I know you can make them invisible, but if you 
create 'em on the fly, you need to be able to get rid of 'em on the fly.

By the way, GREAT WORK on the new parser, widgets and docs.  This is becoming 
a very powerful piece of software.  I'm impressed!

Thanks,
