Roger just sent me this message. Paul Kienzle has designed this program and refined it a bit from feedback on the kidsgames mailing list. This is a nice program for young kids, and could be a basis for something like a child's picture storybook writer program. I don't know if Paul would be interested in doing that, though. Chris Ellec, have you heard anything off-channel about kidsgames? It's been very quiet for a while now.
