-keyboard commands to group preview, of course, thanks. i don't look
in pulldown menus anymore...
-turned off the openGL sprites, restarted and it worked. i have the
recent file queue, now. will this cause any other problems, though?
-i'll take custom post-it colors, as long as it uses your cool 3d
color selector. but maybe we could have font sizes beyond 20, too...
thanks.
