Hi,

"at least have a way of tying one callback to more than one button
or item."

Couldn't you just call a function from more then one callback?
[kim aldis]

you could, but you don't acheive much because there's no way of
telling what item sourced the callback. In other words, the same
action would be taken regardless of what button was pressed.

[Rafe:] You could pass the param from the callback to the primary
function. Granted this means you still have to type the wrapper
callbacks, but it should give the same result. It would be nice to have
a 'this' type keyword which represents the current parameter, although,
I guess it's just one line of typing in the end.

The only limitation I have found with PPGs is the global variable thing.
I don't see any reason for them to run global code every time (or twice
per refresh) - Did I miss your point?

By the way, I use logic strings for collecting logic from more then
one external source
[kim aldis]

how do you mean?

[Rafe:] You can use registered plugins or objects, which return strings,
to dynamically collect logic code, then pass the result into the PPG.
Thus creating external logic calls. I can't go in to detail, but it can
make for some dynamic, collaborative interfaces
