appened to this main is Part....

[Gary Kline <kline thought org>]

	here in the 2nd button that runs the editor increases the
	file[N].txt count, and voices what the user typed.

	how can do do this is an endless loop so that user doesn't
	have the stress of moving fingers from keyboard to mouse
	each time?  it can bed an infinite loop or something large
	like 100 to 500 typings; i'm assuming this would be some
	serious discussing.

	thanks for any insights.

	gary

	ps: i'm thinking of having two horiz buttons: one for a
	click-at-a-time, and the other for chat endlessly....
	OH: and another that would end the chat wsithout Quit'ing
	the app.
