BEGIN NOTE
	Someone, I forgot who, posted information on a Preferences module that
would do just that several days ago.
END NOTE


BEGIN FLAME
	Once again, NeXT Software Development decides what's best for the
user community without consulting them first and providing NO means for
returning to the ORIGINAL behavior without requiring thrid-party intervention.
From a user's perspective, calling NeXTSTEP a GUI is insulting!

NeXT, WHAT YOU'RE DOING IS WRONG!!!!  Start listening to the users; consult
with consumers; advocate OPEN relations.  And start NOW!
END FLAME

P.S.
	Lately, there's been a lot of talk/rant about hardware ergonomics
(i.e., keyboard feel, etc.), has anyone ever thought about software ergonomics,
particularly the Graphical USER (hint) Interface area?
