Re: [orca-list] Linkslist-1.2 and Headingslist-1.0 ready for testing

["Rich Caloggero" <rjc MIT EDU>]

The Mozilla developers site has everything you need on the topic of learning 
XUL and extension writing. Google is your friend for sure.

THat said, xul planet  featured a great tutorial on their site which has 
since been moved to Mozilla. However, the single document version, which I 
find much quicker to browse, didn't make it to MDC as far as I can see. So, 
here is a link to it on my server:
http://www.mit.edu/~rjc/tutorial.zip

Hope this helps.
