Look at LDW and tell me where the Quit option is. >This is a shame, and the perpetraotrs should be shot:) I know what you mean, but LDW Power is a poor example. LDW Power tries to emulate the Lotus 123 menus, not conform to what standards GEM has now. It seems, on the same note, that Atari is now only starting to enforce standards. Clipboard implementation, Control Panel guidelines; there was some discussion a while ago on GEnie about ALT-X,C,V versus CTRL. Apparently, the programmers at Atari wanted CTRL -- everyone else wanted ALT. I don't know what the result is. -- ||| Ed Krimen ||| ekrimen@wet.UUCP or hoptoad!wet!ekrimen / | \ E.KRIMEN (GEnie)
