   I've been playing with all my upgraded software recently.  

GS/OS- when there is a file selection dialog on the screen, and I eject a disk
       and put a new one in, I hit the "DISK" button to read in the directory
       from the new disk.  If I hit 'TAB' instead, it goes to the next drive
       even if the current disk was switched.  Is this a bug, or a feature?

       Also, Bill Gulstad and I have been thinking about spaces in filenames.
       Couldn't space be something like lowercase '.'?  Dots could be used
       interchangeably with spaces.  Shell programs would still work, ProDOS 8
       would still work, and Desktop programs get a bonus.
       Is there a problem with doing something
       like this?  I think it would be a nice feature, especially for people
       who use Macs and GS's.  Just the other day I was at CBM getting a copy
       of the SCSI utilities.  The salesman tried to format a GS disk with
       a name of "SCSI UTILS" and didn't understand why it didn't work.

AppleWorks 3.0 - I was paging through a word processor file with the right
arrow, and I noticed that if the line ended with ,"..., (comma, quote, text)
the cursor jumped to the next line after the comma.  This was very annoying
as I was deleting returns off the ends of the lines.

 That's about all I've discovered so far. Besides the sad fact that I can't
use any of those new fonts cause my system disk is full. :-(
