Not me either but when internetting i have Miami, AmFTP and occasionally Voy (just to test my homepages now that i got my copy of AWeb II 3.0) and that is the only time i have a MUI-app running at all. I'm looking forward to the Miami 3.0 with a separate GUI. DL> And I always flush my memory when closing an MUI-app, no sense in DL> ~500Kbyte libs using/fragging my memory. Well, if you are worried about fragmentation then flushing could be necessary but used mem will be reclaimed if someone needs it so you don't have to worry about that.

Haven't got the faintest but not so much i gather since most data comes from your own system and GadTools code is a more advanced interface to Intuition gadgetfunctions.
