TKIned Dialog Commands and Java

This may be more of a wish list than a question. First, I assume that
it is important to stay within the TKIned domain if possible for
portability reasons. One can easily use TK commands directly but then
dependancies are introduced. I like the TKIned/Applet model.

Speaking of applets, is there any movement towards a Java
implementation? I know that most Network admins are not interested in
becoming java gurus but this may become more viable with the "beans"
component model. I would be like to participate if there is any
interest.

The immediate question, with "ined request" dialogs there seems to be no
"handle" for persistant dialog windows. This would be nice for layers.
What I have now is a three stage set of user dialog windows and the
previous window disappears as the next one kicks in. When I get a chance
I will look at the ined library. Or is all of this bound to the ined C
Code? Anyway, something like the usual (in pseudocode):

InedRequest d1 = new InedRequest(x,y,z)
d1.display
d1.destroy

or, more along the lines of ined/tcl

set d1 [ined request {x y z}]
ined d1 display
ined d1 destroy

Thanks -- David
