Kevin, I created a "remote control" version of Proteus,
which is a version of Proteus I regard more as a concept
car--interesting to build, maybe to look at, but would
anyone want to drive it?  Anyway, you can view it
and the code at http://www.thrall.org/proteus.html
(scroll down to More Information, select REMOTE).
I don't recall the direct URL offhand (it may be
/proremote.html)--it's been a while.  Warning:  I wouldn't
try this on anything below MSIEXP or Netscape 3.0.  I
still prefer the HTML method of referencing windows.
Hope that helps.


Robert
