   When I see the "w" as a mark, I *still* (and it has been well over a month     
   using oxp, I have the tendency to hit "w" for the toggle!   Granted that     
   the program is of German origin, I would appreciate that.   
      
   If it were in Latvian, everyone might complain about "z" as the mark     
   symbol.  Mark = "Zime".  LoL
