If it is any consolation I rather liked the way OS/2 had their interface
set up with the mouse. It made better use of the two mouse buttons standard
on the PC.
BTW, just to forewarn you of a gotcha in TB! it doesn't appear to use the
standard list dialog and certainly doesn't conform to the CUA.. Geez, I hope
it is the CUA. Anyway, in other applications with a list interface you can
use CNTL-SHIFT to mark a block in addition to a previously marked block.
Simple example is a list, of 1-10 and you want to mark 1-3, 6-9. You'd
highlight 1, Shift click 3, cntl click 6, cntl-shift click 9. In TB!
cntl-shift is treated as shift so you lose all previously marked blocks. That
is something I had to really relearn when I came from PMMail since I was so
used to marking messages for deletion first and then going back to read what
was left. I still do that, just not as efficiently.
