I agree with Peter that laying out widgets is like creating
an HTML table, but I can probably count on one hand the times
I've used a COLUMN or ROW keyword set to something other than 1.
I just use lots and lots of COLUMN=1 and ROW=1 bases to get
the layout I want.

Bases are not suppose to take any space, but I notice they
do in Windows XP, so I usually set XPAD=0, YPAD=0 in these
organizing bases, too.

Cheers,

David
