  Since there's been discussion on the subject, some folks out there might be
interested to know about a new book, called _The_Power_of_PenPoint_. It's
published by Addison-Wesley (of Bruce Webster's _The_NeXT_Book_ fame), and
written by Robert Carr and Dan Shaffer. So far it's a very high level book--
doesn't get nearly technical enough for even me. But it's a good read, and
certainly more comprehensive than the articles I've read so far (as any whole
book should be).

  And now, a legitimate excuse for posting:

  Has anyone noticed under 2.0 that the Font Panel (among others) *never*
ever becomes the key window? This has caused me some confusion--like, for 
example, the Set button is still marked with a carriage return symbol! Set
your font, hit return, and a return promptly goes *into your document*. I
for one don't like this; maybe I'll bug_next about it.
