Me too.  Hey, WRQ, are you listening?

I managed to circumvent WRQ's ROADBLOCKS on one occasion, and hooked up with
(To Remain Anonymous) who kindly helped a bit when I was trying to switch an
R1 command file from ancient RCL to VBA.  But unfortunately when I asked for
just one real-life example of a host-driven GUI selection box via Reflection
VBA, TRA told me "Yes, we can do it all.  Call our Sales department, they
can quote you a price for some consulting".

While we're all aware that WRQ is downsizing fast, it seems to have escaped
the minds of WRQ management that teaching the users of their (existing,
profitable) product HOW to use their product would go a long way toward
LOCKING us into their product for many years, licensing the full high-dollar
product for EACH SEAT, not just us nosy programmers.

(Apologies to TRA; please pass this upstairs?)
