Thanks, I'll try SlakARM. I've analysed why many people HATE mc. The sports-man/soldier-type who train to do the task by reflex, like your dog catches a ball, want to go-straight-to-the-goal, by writing a mesg to the-little-man-in-the-box. The don't want to see the 'clutter' of multiple fileNames and have to make decisions, during the game. They have a complete mental-model of how to reach the goal.
