Hi, Points well taken; I don't use the features you're missing and honestly I don't use most of the new ones either. :) "Open Browser Here" is the most useful one to me (it even works in Midnight Commander relative to which pane is currently active). In re-reading my previous message to you in this thread I hope it didn't seem confrontational to you, or if it led people to pile on, that was not my intention at all. I was simply curious what was missing since the few features I use seemed to have gone unchanged or been improved. So my apologies in case you took it that way. Often I'll write short, direct e-mails on these lists while I'm on a phone call or doing other things and sometimes lack the forethought or communication skills necessary to convey the almost-certainly-always-good-spirited nature of my question. :) Thanks Paul
