Thanks for the insight, Peter... sometimes turning the UI inside out is just what's needed to work with it more efficiently. It reminds me of the once-useful and now-not-so-much-so utility for Mac OS X called "Quicksilver"... it allowed you to do much of the same kind of thing - hit a keystroke, type a few characters, hit Enter, and you're there - having launched an app, or invoked a process, or even run a service like web searches or text parsing. Sometimes "less" really IS "more"... Ken Ray Sons of Thunder Software, Inc.
