Brent and Joel, Thanks for the replies. I would be happy to add my requests to this Sourceforge site, but I didn't know if I had the "approval" to do so. I thought (apparently incorrectly) that use of this site was only for the VASSAL developers. If you would like, I can add these requests to the list.
I deeply appreciate the job you guys do in supporting VASSAL.

I do see the utility of these. I think they would be fairly easy to implement. That makes them a good project for someone who wants to start writing some code. I'm always happy to offer advice about that. For my part, I'm not working on anything new until I finish the projects I've already started. Possibly you could lobby Rodney or Brent for them. I wouldn't assume that you requests are being ignored just because you didn't get a reply---I save every email that contains a feature request, for the express purpose of having a record of what people wanted the next time I'm looking for something to implement. Your original message is #249 in that folder. It would help also if you added your request to those at our Sourceforge site: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=594234&group_id=90612&func=browse -- J.
