surely this does not follow. if programs had built into them the
navigational capibilities god intended them to have, there would be no need
for programs such as quickeys. and even a fine product such as endnotes has
incompatibilities (make sure you use quickeys and not macromaker with
endnotes). lastly, as far as "more features implies more code" is
concerned, the features and benefits of quickeys most certainly have a
concommitant cost in cpu cycles, RAM and disk space.
