    There were interface guidelines. In the 1.1 Intuition manual.

    I don't think folks have considered interfacing a problem, though.
    People just do what they like, and assume the user is intelligent
    enough to handle it. This could be a misunderstanding they have re
    the average user, but then again maybe it isn't.
