2. Category:  Miscellaneous

3. Brief Description:

	This application is used to introduce newcomers to the NeXT user interface. There are examples of buttons, sliders, fields, pop-up and pull-down menus, radio buttons, switches, system sounds, an alert panel, a scrolling text view, color wells, and a browser.
	
4. How the Application Can be Used:

	DoNothing is used in classes where students are experiencing the NeXT for the first time. I recommend that the instructor point out the various control objects and then let the students play around for a little bit. It is worth spending some time with the scrolling text view, since this can be used to show text selection and editing techniques as well as services. This app can also be used to show some common things like miniaturizing and resizing windows, submenus and key equivalents, font panels, etc.
	
5. Developed under NeXTSTEP 2.1

6. Detailed Instructions:

	Everything is obvious to an experienced NeXT user. All this application does is to put these control objects in one place.
	
7. Comments:

	There are several things missing that could have been included: printing, page layout, saving to a file, opening a file, find and spell panels, opening and closing windows, a Windows menu button, etc. Maybe in a later version.
