	I haven't even seen the beast, and I'm already sold on it. For
general information, I am including the following blurb that Mr. Thompson
was kind enough to send me (reprinted without permission, but I don't
think they'll mind me pushing their stuff):

		Keynote User's Group

	A Keynote User's Group is being organized to provide a way for
users to share new functions and example applications through a quarterly
newsletter and a BBS archive. Keynote has also been sub-licensed, allowing
the distribution of binaries directly to end users. This will be a much
more convenient way of getting Keynote for many people, especially
personal computer owners (Amiga, Macintosh, Atari ST and IBM PC's). For
more information, please contact:

		Jon W. Backstrom
		Applied Digital Arts
		P.O. Box 176
		Bloomington, IN 47402-0176

		(812) 336-3660 (after June 1, 1990)

		Internet: media@silver.ucs.indiana.edu
		UUCP: {ames,rutgers,att}!iuvax.silver.media

	Membership in the Keynote User's Group is $20 annually, which
includes a subscription to the quarterly newsletter and access to a
growing library of Keynote functions and musical sequences.
	Sub-licensed Keynote binaries are being distributed for $49,
including a one year membership in the Keynote User's Group. (Source
code is only available from the AT&T UNIX Toolchest.)

----- End quoted stuff --------------------------------------------------

	As noted above, Keynote is to sequencing as Emacs is to text
editing: it's programmable, so if you don't like the way it does
something, rewrite it! And yes, that includes the windows, menus and
stuff.
