Hi Jan,
Thanks for the feedback I will put the bugfix in the next release.
Do you have a problem with others dll or is it aygshell specific?
The next release will use the SHDoneButton function, can you please send 
me the ordinal ?

As for the ide, I think what it needs for now is "heavy refactoring" 
;-), and I will move on improvements later, here are my thoughts about 
them :
Multiple documents could be easy to implement, but I prefer waiting the 
menu issue on PPC2003 to be fixed to make
a menu for opening/closing tabs.
The idea of a module/class explorer sounds good to me and it may be 
interesting to implement it using the instrospection abilities of 
python. Maybe, i will look into the source of other ide like SPE.
As for the remote keyboard, I don't have such device but if someone 
sends me an example script using it,
I can host the support as a thread that inserts the characters in the 
editbox.

I will upload the release soon, it will add 2 new things to the gui 
toolkit :
- A simple layout system
- Unification of windows and modal dialog.
