  The other gripe I have seen alot is thus:
 
    I thought commodities was designed so the user could have a consistant
way of configuring all his/her pop-toys, wonderfmarlbes, and whiz-bangs.
That's great, but NONE OF THE COMMODITIES ALLOW YOU TO CHANGE THEIR HOTKEYS.

I'd love to use Autopoint, and IHelp. They are great. Bewteen those two,
and the built-in mouse acceleration, I would no longer need Mach.
 
But, the hotkeys that you hard-coded into the commodities (actually, IHelp
is somewhat reconfigurable by WB Tooltypes) conflict with many of the most-
used key abbreviations that UEdit, the text editor I use. Now, UEdit can be
reconfigured for all key abbreviations, but I've learned the ones I'm using
now, and I'm a stubborn guy.
 
   Now maybe, I'm needlessly flaming. Maybe (please tell me this is so) there
is a way to reconfigure the hotkeys that the commodities. And maybe IHelp
actually can use something other than vanilla F1-F10 (I've tried getting it
to use Control-F1, etc, but it won't recognise that...). If so, please, speak
or I will forever lose my marbles. (MIX that metaphor!) I'll send you many
cans of Macadamia nuts if you do this. Please...
