I believe you have indirectly raised a good point Tim, although it is not
Voyager- specific. Why has MUI taken us into the regime of hidden GUI
commands? Why can't a right mouse button click render a local "cut, copy,
paste" menu, as do other GUIs? A key concept behind the Amiga GUI is that
keyboard shortcuts are reflected in menus so that you don't have to
refer to the manual to know or remember them.
