Kevin,
I think many parts of Fileman are intuitive to me, but intuition
needs to be trained. It seems to me that I used to find the
Fileman report generator more intutitive than I find it now. I am
talking about more than 10 years ago when I was not using a GUI
interface. That was before I was used to WYSIWYG full screen
editors and the like. The Fileman report generator is powerful,
but is not easy.

I think Fileman could benefit from GUI tools (such as report
builders). We sometimes forget the old principle that a tool should
do one job and do it well. Perhaps the core of Fileman should not be
encumbered with report writing tools but just provide a basic API or
language that could be used by other tools.
