*Snip*

Hopefully (unlikely) the whole app will be 'threaded' and support drag and
drop.  (wouldn't that be nice to drag some reference right into a document
and drop it where you want the citation.) as well as other new and great
things like Applescript.

I think that allowing find to work in the background wouldn't be that
tricky but might slow it down, even if you don't switch to another
application.  However if v.2 were an entirely threaded application you
could be doing more than one thing at once even within the application (ie
sorting, finding, exporting...) as well as use other applications.  For a
great example of a 'threaded' application see the newsreader "Nuntius".

There are lots of things to be added to Endnote, but my guess is that they
are not large enough to keep up with all our requests (or our cost
demands), still it works with me and the support is outstanding and prompt
(thanks Kimberly).

Won't stop ME from offering ideas though...
