After reading the posts about Amiga software features I have decided to mention
just few 'little' things that I think are important. If I ever write a program
good enough to distribute I WILL follow these rules.

	If it opens it's own screen or window it WILL detach from the CLI

	If it opens it's own screen or window Right-Amiga-Q will exit it.
		(I wish DiskMaster would do this (as well as others)

	If a text requester comes up you can immediately start typing, you
		won't need to click in it first.

	If it has menus every selection will have a hot key combination as
		close to 'standard' as I can get.

	All requesters will use the Left-Amiga-v and Left-Amiga-b for 
		True/False entry.

As you may guess from reading the above I HATE HAVING TO REACH FOR THE MOUSE
to do something. Some people wonder why I want DM to quit with Right-Amiga-Q
since "you already have your hand on the mouse". It's because when I run out
of memory (I currently have a whopping 1 Meg) and I flip screens (using 
Left-Amiga-n & m) and I see DM I want to hit Right-Amiga-Q to quit, not have
to reach for my mouse.

Oh well, enough of these ramblings. It's just been on my mind alot lately.
