Crap. |-)  You can have all the configurability you like, but if the
basic user interface is a flat nonprompting button pushing exercise like
Binkley is for instance, it 'aint worth shit IMHO.

Not particularly - and you're wrong anyway. |-)  IMHO of course... ;)  I
don't think the plain unshifted, unCTRLed or unALTed keys should be use
for anything except text entry in an application where text entry has to
occur on a regular basis - such as a mail reader.  That's what the shift
ctrl and alt keys are for.

AM> Sounds like masochism to me! - not to mention blind zealotry!

BG> Zealotry?  For what?  Msged or OS/2 (or both) ??

For OS/2.  Changing to using a native app simply because it's OS/2 -
despite email being the PCs major usage and therefore the quality of
that one app needing to be one of best available.  And you go and
use that msged crap...   It's pure blind zealotry. ;)

...don't fix it?  But you have and continue to do so - you've gone to
all this trouble to make it similar to OLX.  QED, it must have been
'broke' before hand for it to need to be modified to be like that of
something with a decent U/I.

Don't worry too much about it Bill - I understand zealotry perfectly...
