Nice reasoning Bob! JFW is supposed to be a 32-bit Windows application
after all, isn't it? I don't personally hear H.J. actually doing it,
but they couldn't gripe to much about non-standard windows layout
whilst retaining this irritating menu system. Every time you "OK" a
specific set of features you are dropped right out of the selection
process. As you are only to well aware, you have to pull down the
MenuBar to select the Settings Menu again, in order that you can choose
another category, make your selections and be dropped out once more.
With a multi-page dialogue, one could simply Control+Tab to the next
set of options or Control+Shift+Tab back and make all your selections
before having to "Apply" and "OK" your chosen changes.

I noticed that in jfw3.3 there are a lot of changes to the
configuration
manager.
I would have hoped that jfw would have also updated their way of
processing
changes to the configuration manager.
Instead of having us access it as a menu driven system--a well tested
method in the good old DOS days--they should make the configuration
manager
a multi-paged dialog with pages such as user configuration, text
configuration, etc. Each page could contain check boxes and edit
fields in
which to enter the necessary data.
While they are at it, they could also include changes to the jfw
program so
that we could select voices, languages, etc in the same manner.
What do you think?
Bob
