Enhanced client GUI support

Reasons PRO

Although FORMs demonstrated the value of a portable distributed GUI, the capabilities of HTML 2.0 FORMs are severly limited compared with any `real' GUI.

Reasons CON

GUI specifications could become highly baroque unless coupled with a general client extension mechanism.

Proposed Solutions

(General solutions are typically included in object models for client extension.)

Subsidiary Design Requirements

Complete range of GUI events.
- Use existing standard for event records.
- Prepackaged rubber-banding.
Complete GUI layout control .
