Yes, this'd be great.

You don't need to worry about martin's fram changes. You'll want to maybe code
my nullEvent method in XAP_QnxFrame.cpp to allow refreshes during long
operations. If you go to print a document and you can see "Printing Page xxx of
yyy" in the status bar for each page, it worked for you.

Styles are useful. From the front window, you should be able to do:
1) List all styles
a) all, used, or user-defined
2) delete a style
3) modify an existing, non-builtin style
4) create a new style
From the second window, you basically collect information from other dialogs and
then we create a style from that info.
So say you want to create a style. Let's call it "Hyperlink"
1) Format->Style->New
2) Name it "Hyperlink"
3) Open up the font dialog. Make your text blue and underlined
4) Hit ok, exit the styles dialog
5) Type some text, select it, set it to the "Hyperlink" style. Should be obvious
what this should look like.
