This reminds me of a suggestion I have for the Workbench (not that I
can tell if the above incident was the same as my incident).  The
Workbench has an "initialize" menu item whose effect is to format the
selected disk.  I once lost a disk to the computer-naivete' of a friend
who thought "initialize" was how you started up a program.

I would suggest that "initialize" be replaced by a term which more
clearly implies a *destructive* operation.  How about "format"?
