But that would be inconsistent.  When you select a bunch of programs and
open the program itself do you want only the function each program has
with all the others to work?  <grin>  It would be meaningless often too. 
For example, do you get just the pages in common?  Or do you get only the
selected features?  How about DOS settings?  Some of them have to be set
in relation to others.  How do you know what is there now to set the ones
you want to change.

The only thing I can see this being usefull for is changing the icons, and
there are command line things on the net that work much better for that.
