   Thank you for that.  Flipping between Apoint and WinPoint can make me   
   dizzy.

   BTW.. The script feature looks interesting. I supposed it is designed to     
   simplify repeated tasks? Do you use it - much?   
      
   Regarding "Editable right-click menus"  ..what is that, really?   
      
   I note that the Toolbar is "editable" to one's preferences, but I don't     
   think you mean that.

   The multiple nodelist problem is a big one IMHO.   
      
   The "not indent quoted text" is a prime example of something cosmetic     
   only.  ;)
