Mike -

What exactly is so bad about this? Aside from the fact that the input
windows don't line up. It looks like my widget code - well, the last
I wrote anyhow, which was well before GUI Builder, before WIDED, and even
before compound widgets.

This style guide is enforceable within an organization, but there is
too much variation in personal style for the IDL community to adopt in
en masse. For example, I reject the idea that variable names should
start with a letter corresponding to data type.
