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.

I agree with this; I do it all the time.  There I am, working
big-time, and WHOOPS!--no database!

It sometimes causes me to utter the F-word: or WORSE!!

YES!!! This is what I miss most from my previous database too.
It would be great if this was added to Endnote.

I agree with these sentiments - there should at least be a confirmation
request something along the lines of "Are you sure you want to close
xxxxx.lib".

Suggestion:
You can use one of these macrorecorders like Quickeys for that. Once you
have recorded or manually designed your macro, you will be able to switch
between different records just as easy as with a build-in function.

Exactly what is the major problem? It's not that any data are lost.

Is it a problem to reopen the library? If so, is that because (1) you were
working with several and don't recall which one or (2) that it's a pain to
renavigate from scratch through folders, particularly when you're not sure
where you keep the library since you rarely have to open it from scratch?

Perhaps another solution would just be to make it easier to reopen your
library. Perhaps EndNote could keep a "recently used library" list and
append it to the end of the File menu (the way Microsoft Word for the Mac
does). Selecting it from the menu would reopen it.

[I make this suggestion because there's really no HIG justification to
impede a user from closing a nondirty window.]
