Thanks Alex,

I was struggling some more with the Translation demo to get your =20
sample file to work. Apparently hard-coding the path as we do now is =20
not a good approach (at least in my hands). So I was thinking to add =20
your openPanel code to the Translation demo. Or even better, we could =20=

have an openPanel controller class in our BCAppKit that can be used =20
in various programs. It could then also be used to get sequences =20
using NSURL.

Let me know what you guys think of this approach, so I can start =20
working on that class (BCSequenceIOController seems like a useful =20
name). I won't have much time today though, it's going to be > 25 =FBC, =20=

so I don't feel like sitting behind my computer :)

cheers,
