This thread is most interesting in the comments it produced. Clearly, the ScreenMan never caught on, and it is my favorite tool in FileMan.
We use it extensively and have done so for over 10 years. It is most convenient and I use it to create menus, build options, and it's used exclusively in production. It is very fast, efficient, and presents a nice picture of the work in process. Given the horsepower we allow, it leaves windows in the dust. It was doing "pop-ups" long before discovered by internet browsers. Weaknesses? As already addressed, it hasn't advanced over the last few years. It doesn't, in my hands, have good way to do "read only" mode so I can imagine that in a large group competition for review without edit of records could get bothersome. However, we haven't experienced a problem with that. Mouse navigation is not implemented as a pointing device, but given the efficient navigation with programmed keys, who needs it. Listmanager may be ok, but in our experience it is a poor substitute for ScreenMan. My friends say I am not much with group-think. It could be they know something. I will be glad to have further discussion offline in the unlikely event someone is interested.
