Thanks guys. whilst Smalltalk Express has a limited value I had some
use of WindowsBuilder. It is good but not excellent. 
For example :
 1)   I am missing pictures in menus
 2)  I want "visualy" assign a BRUSH to a window (not possible)
 3) Each item of a menu shoud be able to "excute" a Message object or

     Action object. Message object does you know what. Action object

     perform some actions somewhere outside of Smalltalk space. 
     Is it possible?
 4) I want to edit and modify already RUNNING windows, because  
     appearance of the windows depends on a state of running program.
 5) to be continued.....

Anyway, it was a good idea to make SmalltalkV/Windows free. Next step
would be to make free VW2.5 and VSE. At least some limited version.  
PLEASE!!!!!

Have a good night. I will....
