Yeah, I have this same complaint occasionally, especially with
utiliites like Stuffit (an otherwise fine program).  It spends so much
time putting up and taking down windows that everything takes twice as
long as it should (are you listening Ray?).  Also, there really should
be a way to do a Stuffit *.c on the Mac... picking each file by hand
is torture.  Anyone do regexp() for the Mac?
