This is one of the things I like about Lotus 123.  Talk about keyboard
mnemonics, by the way.  And another benefit of the visicalc/lotus
UI is that it is easy to describe to someone how to select an action.

"You type /WOGY" (or whatever) as opposed to "From the Workstation menu,
select Options, select the Group option and click on "Yes" in the
confirmation dialogue box."

I mean, some people are in a hurry.
