:I have been using HAND-Off for a few weeks now, and I love it.  I also
:like how you can have it pop-up anywhere by clicking with a few (user-
:definable) modifier keys (Cmd, Option, Ctrl, and/or Shift).  Anyway, it's
:really slick, and I whole-heartedly recommend it.

I agree that HAND-OFF is a wonderful utility, however I have a few complaints

There is no nice way to tell if a file is _really_ a Word (for example) file
or something else.
Of course you can open it, or you can get at the 'true' file type through the
Hand-off control panel, but It would be nice if there was a 'get info' entry
on the hand-off menu similar to the finder get-info but reflecting the 'original'
file attributes.

The control panel interface needs some work. (I had to look in the manual ! )
Seriously did Microsoft write the cdev?

I would like to control the order of the applications menu, so that frequently
used apps are near the top.  ( As is I have renamed a few applications to 
appear first alphabetically )

-looking forward to an upgrade
