At least for me this is not about sticking to the known as opposed to embracing the new. But to embrace the new it must at least be as fast, simple, straightforward as the old. LookAt was a GUI, it was fast, simple and straightforward, yet it still required entering the message id into another window (browser). Quickref, while probably not considered a GUI in your sense, shows the message explanation by the hit of a single key. -- Peter Hunkeler ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
