I wasn't happy with some of the ways the original programmer did things so I've learning more about xul than I intended and I already know enough javascript to know not to use it give the choice. So far I've got it referring to my web site and have developed a couple of "flash card options" in that you can choose one of the available word lists and a range of words to choose from. I've also learnt why the original programmer did somethings as strangely as he did; Some of the restrictions in firefox's security model have to be worked around. This hasn't progressed very far as this is being done in what little free time I have and having not made myself familiar enough with lojban yet - one reason to take on this project - am starting to find my way around the language taking some added time. Having said that if anyone is interested I'll post a link to a working version and make the code available. Jeff.
