I write small applications which, I think, fit the model of which you are
speaking.  The Development system I use is called RDM - it is pascal-based,
table driven, portable among a variety of operating systems and affords
a great deal of development power to the individual because of its many
features.  I encourage you to send for the information from Interactive
Technologies Inc:

Moreover, if you, or anyone else has constructive feedback to offer on this
product, it would be greatly appreciated.  I  am new to this business and 
would like to be sure I'm using the tools most suited to my needs and those
of my clients.
