The file notification is, IMHO, A Very Good Thing Indeed.  What's interesting
is that this minor part of 2.0 bears a strong resemblance to the IAC
"hot links" features of the Mac's System 7.0 that are so extensively
ballyhooed!

(It's also fun to edit pointers in Dpaint III instead of bothering with that
(much improved, but still) boring preferences editor.)
