I am not sure as to why you think it is not 'RiscOS-like' as the only place
it could occure would be in the filer as there is no where else you find a
directory viewer. Ok editing text in draw pops up a window but other apps
allow you to alter the text on screen. Anyway if we implemented hot keys
you could click say Ctrl-R and a window could be popped up for rename
like the one off the menu.

I doubt if it would offend Apple as the Sun File Manager does it as well!

Hardspaces - Yes an idea I had not thought about :-)
