All I know is that I got an email from Marcio Andrade Nov. 24, where 
he commented on one of my recent requests, something he said "may be 
available in the next release". I'm looking forward to the end of 
this month. ;-)

To me, Plua's most valuable feature is the easy way to create the 
GUI. However, I have stopped using Plua for a while because I suspect 
that it has some serious problems with memory managment. (I'm using a 
Palm IIIx with OS 3.1.)
