Now you know another magic spell...     Bluewave is really pretty
good about putting help files where they are useful...  I think that it
is Alt-M that puts pull-down menus at the top of the screen, where you
can find/use commands you need for BW...  gets them off again.  F1
and F2 both give some sort of help as well...  :)

Just a wild guess here (not being a wizard by any means), but maybe
that's because in DOS you have to wait for something to actually finish
happening before you get control back, while with a multi-tasking GUI
you just aren't aware how long it really took to do the work since it
acts as though to be told is to have done it?  :)
