What would be a simple way to make my own menus. Like the one used in the control panel. I'm thinking of making my own gui to load the dsl extenstions that I use so that I won't have to browse for them myself.

This is an area that is currently undergoing a major change.
The original GUI programs were written in Lua/Fltk which was a Lua 4.01 interface to Fltk GUI. The change is to use the latest Lua and Fltk, Lua 5.1.1. There are so many changes that I would not suggest to write 4.01 as that support will be soon dropped. If you want to start to learn the new methods checkout murgaLua. John Murga did the interface between Lua 5.1.1 and Fltk. It appears to be more of a direct interface that the old one.

thanks roberts. It looks interesting. I might wait until the changes happen though. But i'll look into it before that.
