To Niles inc. I suspect (hope) it is too late to make suggestions for EN v2, but is it hasn't already been addressed, is it possible to enable searches of EN libraries using the 'find' command to run in the back ground? There are often times when I am trying to compose that all important sentence that is going to rock the scientific community, and know some of the supporting references that I will cite but carry out a search to bring up others that are related. Ideally, this search could be carrying on in the background while I wrestle with semantics, rather than my having to stare at the wristwatch after finishing the sentence. I know there are problems with the lack of true multi-tasking on the Mac (sorry forgot to mention: MS Word, PIM, Mac, Sys 7.0.1+, PB100) but could the co-operative multi-tasking not be utilised. For example, Compact Pro can happily compress away in the background while I do other things. This works well even on my lowly 16 MHz 680000 machine. Could EN not do the same? All discussion and technical enlightenment welcome.
