Yep. I've watched callers flounder all over the place, and the answer to
their problem was written right out on the screen. I use to take the
BROWSE command away from new callers until they discovered that they
only need to depress ENTER to get the next message. One of the things
they never seem to get right away even though it is always displayed
right there. It is excrutiating to watch a caller using BROWSE for each
message.  I haven't yet gotten around to doing that since the big
crash but it and quite a list of other commands will be taken off soon.
