        Well; I just updated the Control section expanding on the
'is a componentized widget' thus a Control is a component; I also added a
rather wooly but workable definition of a component: 
  
@Q: What is a component?
 
    A component is a ( preferably small ), re-usable piece of
    software, with well defined interfaces and interactions. In this
    context these interfaces are described in IDL and the interactions
    via. CORBA.
  
        Regards,
  
                Michael.
