Maybe people on the net should share features and bugs that they find
with librarian. Instead of getting mad at the lack of documentation lets
all root around and find all the features. My first contribution:
Pick a target and bug the Inspector submenu item under the Target menu
then select the services inspector.

If you check "search in" then a new
librarian service appears that lets you use the text selection in other
apps to do a search in a specific librarian target! Searching the include
files was never easier!!!!!

If you check "Jot in" you get two new librarian services entries. One will
create a file in the librarian target folder that contains the contents of
the current selection. The other service will save a copy of the current file
into the target. I have not figured out how to work these into my daily
routine yet.

Since any good net message requires a least 1 gripe here is mine: Now that
we have a good way to document remote functionality with protocols why
weren't the programatic interfaces for apps like Edit and Librarian documented!
