  Maybe, Brad and I should coordinate our experiments, because I started =
a gui prototype and I was thinking of how to add persistence.  The =
prototype gui is at bio.perl.org/pub/katel/biopython/Bio/ on ftp.  The =
gui is a first cut.  A first cut is all I can do at this time:), but  I =
just received a Tkinter manual in the mail.  Hopefully, this summer, I =
can curl up with the Tkinter book, while I'm camping on weekend.

  I thought of adding a transaction class that could be shelved or =
pickled.  The class would have attributes

    index
    alphabet
    translation table
    operation ( translate, transcribe. backtranslate, etc )
    input sequence
    output sequence

   The transactions could be stored to a file.  A printer utility could =
pretty print the transactions.

   Re back translate.  I wonder if we should use the autodetect for the =
alphabet.  Asking the user to pick an alphabet may be a complication we =
don't need at the prototype stage.

                                                      Cayte
