Either I have some difficulty explaining what I want to see or some netters
have difficulty understanding what I said. Either way, confusion reins. RE:
Fkeys on WP, the multi-levelled Fkey approach is great for some one who uses
WP every day. What about the occasional user who goes on vacation for 3 weeks;
he tends to forget a great deal and has to re-learn WP over and over again.
In a business environment, re-learning an application can get expensive.

Certainly, WP-ST's menus minimize the relearning process. All I suggested was
an improvement of the F-key interface. If an appl. uses Fkeys, their defs
SHOULD be on the screen, not on some piece of cardboard.

                                           By clicking on an A, S or C
      WP's window                          button, the Fkey defs would change
                                           to show Alt, Shft or Ctl Fkeys
