rather than having the records stacked one behind the other I would like to 
gbe able to see up to 4 record BESIDE each other (i.e., 2 beside each other 
and 2 below them on the screen).  I find it clumsy to examine files the way 
it is currently set up.
Also, if you open up (for example 10 records) accidentally, you must close 
each one individually (I find it easier to use CTRL-W because the target 
for the mouse is so small) or (CTRL-Q) which closes the library.  I would 
like to see a CTRL-??? that would close all of the opened recors but still 
allow me to stay in my library.

ONE last thing:  If you have nothing selected and you type CTRL-W, you 
close the library.  I HATE that.  Very often I will accidentally type this 
thinking that I had selected a record.  I must then reload the file which 
takes at least three steps (file open, find directory (because I am not 
used to the fact that directories are sorted within the list of files,
switch directory and load file).  A hassle.

I find it easiest to use a combination of keyboard commands while using the 
mouse.  I am looking forward to a windows version in which I will be able 
to use the mouse while keeping endnote in a window.
