One strangeness I ran into was that 99% of interactions with CED are through requestors which can be handled automatically from ARexx. The *one* exception I found was the "press key you wish to bind" ARRRGH! Support for human readable macro files is a *MAJOR* wishlist item, I hope it will be "in there" for the next version. I'm assuming here that CED has done well enough that there will actually be a next version. Does anyone out there have a gut feeling for the quantity that they have sold?
