these issues so I can fix them. Its not hard to make the panel adjust

I've tried to standardize the punctuation but haven't messed with the language too much because its been around so long. I think you are
talking about the iemguis (hslider, vslider, etc.) or do you also mean the
gatoms (number box , symbol box) and arrays.Mainly talking about the iemguis, yes. I could imagine taking away the "-----dimensions(pix)..." headings and having boxes instead.
Unfortuntely, that's on the C side. The iemguis are hard to modify,
but its definitely possible. One thing that might be easy is to
localize those strange iemgui headers.
When it comes to labels getting cropped, i've so far only seen it happen to the "Messages" labels in the iemguis, and now I see it happen to the english translation as well. Maybe it would be and idea to lose the "symbol" part of eg "Send symbol" and have a heading like "Message symbols", besides of course to make them take up the whole width.
That's a good idea. The hard part is which language to use. How
about this:
Bind symbols Send: Receive:
or maybe this:
Bind to symbols for Send: Receive:
And here I had a long rant about having checkboxes instead of buttons for Init/no init until I viewed source and saw that it was already planned...
Hmm, I wouldn't say planned as much as noted. That wouldn't be hard
to fix, and it would be all Tcl. The more contributions there are,
the better it gets. :)
