OK, since this question has been brought up ... One thing I find better about Motif (and Macintosh) menus are the possibility of learning the keybindings by looking at the menus. I will of course not learn all keybindings this way, but I think I'll be able to speed up my usage of Andrew quite a bit if I at least learn the keybindings that have menus. One thing I find bad with Andrew menus (apart from the above) is the sensitivity when moving the mouse to the left or right. This is probably customizable, by I never figured out how to do it. I won't (yet) go inti the OL vs. Motif debate. Enough complaining -- for now. Chris. ------------------------------------------------------- Christer Bernerus !
