Hi, I was thinking about this problem a few days ago. I'm not very famliar with AutoCAD but my girlfriend is. I saw her working with it and saw that the program has something like an "command" frame on the bottom where you can input commands and get info on the parameters you can use with it. Could we have something like this? It could be toggled on/off and be complimentary to tooltips, etc.
Cheers,

I like both of them. Remember, though, that messages are not set directly in the status bar, but are -queued-. So one must consider how such a status item is sent to the queue. And remember that the text is of course not static, but dynamically formatted.
I had an idea that might work, but would be really ugly, so ignore it: Have a pop-down list (similar to the Location bar in Firefox), with the items being prepended to the top of the list. The topmost item is the one displayed on the bar, and would pop down for the entire scrolled list when clicked. If each list cell were a rich-text widget, then the text could be formatted in a much nicer way than on a simple label.
